The House of Cyprus, with the support of the Department of Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, is organizing on Monday, January 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. (2A Xenophontos Street, Syntagma), a chamber music concert by the Mediterranean Trio, entitled “MEDITERRANEAN SCENTS,” and featuring Miltiadis Papastamou on violin, Yiannis Myralis on saxophone, and Michael Tsalka on piano.

The concert includes works by S. Savva, F. Dymiotis, G. Karvelos, I. Koutroupis, S. Lantsias, N. Kypourgos, A. Nasopoulos, G. Pritsker, the world premiere of a new work by Michalis Andronikos, as well as a special arrangement of the song “Misirlou.”

The Mediterranean Trio consists of Miltiadis Papastamou (Greece) on violin, Yiannis Myralis (Cyprus) on saxophone, and Michael Tsalka (Israel/Netherlands) on piano. The trio’s goal is to promote chamber music for this particular ensemble, as well as contemporary music creation from the eastern Mediterranean. As reported in Fileleftheros, “This unique chamber music ensemble has managed to develop a combination of traditional and contemporary styles and offers an impressive combination of timbres. The trio drew on their diverse musical experiences in classical music, as well as jazz, pop, and traditional music.” The trio was formed in 2014 on the occasion of the “Cyprus Spring” events organized by the Embassy of Cyprus in Germany. Since then, it has given a series of concerts in Munich, Nicosia, Bonn, Amsterdam, Berlin, Helsinki, and London.
