Aroma Of France

‘Commandaria Orchestra and Friends’ Concert Series features Eva Stavrou (Flute), Mavroudes Troullos (Bassoon) and Annini Tsiouti (Piano) in a concert with masterpieces by César Franck Camille Saint-Saëns & Gabriel Fauré.

We could say that after the voice, wind instruments are the most expressive since their sound is produced by breathing – a vital process for physical and mental health. And what else could possibly complete our mental euphoria more than music?

That is why you are all invited, on this winter night, to let yourselves enjoy, along with a glass of wine, the marvellous sounds of the wind instruments.

Through the works of French composers, we shall seek and enjoy the harmony within!
