On Friday, 7th June 2024, the Cyprus Marine Club (CMC) hosted an exclusive Piano Concert with the support of BERGOS. The concert followed by dinner took place at the Gazebo Mare in Limassol Marina, under the starry sky and just next to the sea.
The official welcome speech opened the evening by Capt. E. Koch, the Cyprus Marine Club’s President the BERGOS CEO, and Managing Partner, Dr. Raskin.
Capt. Koch thanked BERGOS for the tremendous support and initiative in organizing the event, whereas Dr. Raskin congratulated the CMC on the 25th CMC Anniversary recently celebrated and expressed his enthusiasm with regards to embracing the idea of joining the event with the incredible, young BERGOS AIR pianist, Nicoleta Savvidou, who was then thoroughly introduced by Dr. Raskin.
Nicoleta Savvidou is a classically trained pianist originally from Paphos, Cyprus. Nicoleta finished her M.M in Piano Performance at Longy School of Music of Bard College, where she received the Christopher Horner Endowed Scholarship. Previously, she earned a B.M. in Piano Performance, with a minor in Creative Entrepreneurship from Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she studied with Max Levinson. Nicoleta has been in Boston for the past 7 years, expanding her musical horizons and points of view through various performances and collaborations with amazing artists worldwide.
Savvidou continues to strengthen and enrich her artistic voice and technique through masterclasses with renowned artists. Nicoleta strives to bring to life a diverse range of musical works, highlighting the rich history of classical music while highlighting the works of underrepresented composers.
During the performance, the pianist demonstrated her talent to perform technically and mechanically demanding repertoire including Philip Glass, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Enrique Granados and Frederic Chopin. The audience was captivated by the performance of your artist who revealed astounding virtuosity and voracious interpretive abilities.
The guests had a unique opportunity to get to know the artist in the live interview during the performance, moderated by Julia Paczkowska, the Secretary General of Cyprus Marine Club. Nicoleta spoke enthusiastically about her journey toward excellence, her musicianship, and early beginnings, her studies and collaboration with BERGOS, as well as her plans for the future. She emphasised that music is the most influential tool to cultivate change and build a better world!
The concert provided a quintessential experience combining great music with a festive social atmosphere and sublime food.
We would like to express our appreciation to Ms. Nicoleta Savvidou for inspiring our guests with timeless melodies that linger in their ears and hearts and BERGOS for this exceptional and enriching experience.
