"Music is the shorthand of emotion" - Leo Tolstoy
What our critics say...........
Monday 5 December 2005 by email...
"On behalf of all members of my team I should like to say how much the fantastic performances by the Cyprus State
orchestra were appreciated in Malta. Everyone was talking about them and I have heard nothing but praise and
admiration from all those officially connected with the event - not only in Malta but also from the UK and Australia.
Simon Tedeschi (the celebrated young Australian pianist) and joseph Aquilina (Maltese tenor) both spoke in glowing
terms of their collaboration with the CSO.
Others will be writing to thank you all properly in the near future when things have settled down but this is just to let
you know how much everyone appreciated the contribution of the Cyprus State Orchestrain the 2005 CHOGM
celebrations. Please will you be kind enough to pass on our congratulations to all members of the orchestra?
With very best wishes
