“MAGNETIC DIPOLES”
at the Knights’ Courtyard of the Cyprus Wine Museum as part of the Commandaria Orchestra & Friends chamber music concert series
The Cyprus Wine Museum presents, as part of its chamber music concert series Commandaria Orchestra & Friends, the music-theatre event “Magnetic Dipoles”, on Friday, 17 July 2026, at 20:00, in the enchanting Knights’ Courtyard, in Erimi.
The Knights’ Courtyard, one of the most magical courtyards on our island, opens its doors to the public once again, hosting a performance that brings together music, movement and stage expression. In an atmosphere filled with historical memory and summer charm, the flute, the violin and physical theatre meet in an evening of striking contrasts and subtle sonic colours.
“Magnetic Dipoles” explores the different acoustic and expressive possibilities of the flute and the violin. Baroque music enters into dialogue with the Avant-Garde, creating an imaginary field of attraction and repulsion between two worlds: the world of Baroque clarity, form and inner dance-like motion, and the world of contemporary sound exploration, breath, experimentation and physicality.
At one pole of the evening stand the Partitas for solo violin by J. S. Bach, works that represent some of the finest achievements of the classical art music tradition, with architectural balance, expressive depth and a continuous inner movement. At the other pole, works by Robert Dick, Ian Clarke, George Crumb, Wil Offermans and Olivier Messiaen open up a different sonic horizon, where the flute becomes an instrument of breath, rhythm, theatricality and natural sound.
The programme brings tradition and experimentation into creative contrast. The Great Train Race by Ian Clarke, the atmospheric excerpt Vocalise (…for the beginning of time) from Vox Balaenae by George Crumb, as well as works by Robert Dick and Wil Offermans, highlight the extended techniques and distinctive possibilities of the contemporary flute. Sigle by Olivier Messiaen, based on the actual song of a bird, adds yet another dimension, bringing nature into musical notation.
Between these two musical worlds, physical theatre acts as a living connecting thread. Movement does not simply accompany the music; it actively participates in shaping the stage experience, transforming sound into image, tension and physical presence.
The performers are Olivia Kaloudi on contemporary flute, Barbara Lucas on classical violin and Georgia Triggi in physical theatre. The stage concept and choreography are by Olivia Kaloudi.
