MOZART AND JAZZ – CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Soloist: Wenzel Fuchs (clarinet)
Conductor: Jens Georg Bachmann

Saturday 19 October 8.30pm
Markideion Municipal Theatre Paphos
Tickets: €12, €7 (18-26 yrs, pensioners), €5 (under 18)
Box Office: two hours before the concert, online at www.cyso.org.cy
Information: Tel: 22463144, www.cyso.org.cy, www.paphosmusiclovers.com

Programme:
M Ravel (1875 – 1937) Pavane pour une infante défunte
WA Mozart (1756 – 1791) Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622
A Copland (1900 – 1990) Clarinet Concerto
Peter Schickele (1935 - ) Concerto for Chamber Orchestra (Cyprus premiere)
Three concertos and a pavane, or three twentieth-century works alongside a Classical masterpiece”. Both fittingly describe this mesmerizing programme, yet the concert’s title reads, more appropriately, ‘Mozart and Jazz’! Mozart’s wonderful Clarinet concerto will be interpreted by the renowned soloist Wenzel Fuchs, Berlin Philharmonic’s principal clarinetist. Next to Mozart’s concerto, all three more modern compositions by Ravel, Copland, and Schickele bear a connection to jazz music by integrating jazz stylistic features and effects. In his Concerto for chamber orchestra, Peter Schickele uses extensive jazz-blues inspired pentatonic scale runs, whilst Aaron Copland in his Concerto for clarinet uses slapping basses and whacking harp sounds. As for Maurice Ravel’s masterpiece Pavane for a dead princess, it provided the musical substance to several popular and jazz music adaptations, the most notable of which being ‘The Lamp Is Low’, recorded in 1939. With the support of the Austrian Embassy. Supporters: Larnaca Municipality, Paphos Municipality.
Directions: The theatre is next to the Karavella bus station in the upper town, just off the Polis Road behind the petrol station. MARKIDION MUNICIPAL THEATRE OF PAPHOS, 27 Andrea Geroudi Street, Paphos. Tel: 26932571.

Synopsis: A man is looking for a singer he had heard on a cassette. He finds much more.
We invite you to join us in an exciting journey with Gypsy vibes and music during the screening of the movie ‘Gadjo Dilo’, which in Romani means ‘crazy stranger’, ‘crazy outsider’. The title stranger – Stéphane (Romain Duris) from Paris – is deeply in love with gypsy music, just like his father. He decides to go to Romania and search for the folk singer Nora Luca. Eventually, he ends up in the commune of Gypsies and despite the cultural differences and language barrier, Stéphane finds his place among his new friends. The amazing, unpredictable journey gives him feelings and experiences which he did not expect. But the myth of free Gypsy spirit is destroyed with the return of a young Roma from prison, who is seeking revenge on his enemy. Death brutally enters that magical world which fascinates Stéphane and nothing stays as it was before.
Tony Gatlif, the director of the movie "Exils" (2004) awarded in Cannes, is - alongside Emir Kusturica - one of the most connected to the tradition of Gypsy directors. He is a director, screenwriter, actor, and also a respected composer, and although he holds French citizenship, he identifies himself with his Algerian Gypsies ancestors (he describes the search for Algerian roots in "Exils"). "Gadjo dilo" is the last part of the Gypsy trilogy, which was opened in 1983 with the movie "Les Princes" (Grand Prix Special des Amériques at the festival in Montréal). The next part of the trilogy, "Latcho Drom" (1993) won the prestigious Un Certain Regard section in Cannes. “Gadjo Dilo” won Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and Silver Leopard at the International Film Festival in Locarno, and César Award for the Best Music. Romain Duris and Rona Hartner who played the main roles in the movie were nominated and won many prestigious festival awards in Europe, such as Crystal Star in Brussels, Prix Michel Simon, César Awards, Special Prize in Locarno.
Starring: Romain Duris, Rona Hartner, Izidor Serban. Directed and written by: Tony Gatlif. Release date: August 1997. Language: French, Romanian with English subtitles. Duration: 102 minutes. Film not appropriate for people under 18.
