Music performance on the occasion of the European Museum Night

 

Can anyone hear the sounds of the museum?

Is there any rhythm or melody to history?

Can we record our land’s culture through music notation?

Celebrating the European Night of Museums, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation invites the public to "The Sounding Museum", an immersive experience that combines the expressiveness of visual art and sound with the wealth of our cultural heritage in an experimental musical theatre performance.

 

Contemplating the art and history of Cyprus, visitors will set out on a sonic tour of the Foundation's exhibits and premises, created and curated by young Cypriot composer Andreas Papapetrou and performed by a group of ten classical musicians.

 

Weaving sounds using various instruments, the musicians will walk alongside visitors, creating a constantly shifting 45-minute musical promenade that will include a tour of the Foundation's museums and collections and the “Rooms to Contemplate” exhibition of contemporary Cypriot art.
