The concert will feature a chamber ensemble, violinists and pianists, as well as the symphony orchestra of the Paphos Music School.
"Sergei Rachmaninoff is a great composer and pianist who created a portrait of a person tormented by longing for a lost homeland, and a genius under the sway of nostalgia for a lost world," said the president of the foundation, Michalis Maratheftis.
