On June 12th, 2019, in a crowded Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation’s Open Air Theatre in Faneromeni, Nicosia, Sistema Cyprus and the Windcraft Junior band proved that music knows no boundaries.

'Sistema in Concert' was organized under the auspices of the United Nation’s High Commissioner for Refugees in Cyprus as part of its activities  on the occasion of this  World Refugee Day. With  the slogan “Join us and take a step #WithRefugees” the concert sent a ‘loud musical’ message calling for the respect, acceptance and integration of refugees into the new societies. The orchestra, under the artistic and musical direction of Petros Stylianou, took the audience on a musical journey through rhythms and melodies from around the world and especially from Latin America.

On the 10th November, the Sistema Cyprus orchestra performed its first-ever concert, officially signalling the start of its orchestral activities.

Yet, while its orchestra is only just getting started, Sistema Cyprus has already made a name for itself both domestically and within the wider Sistema community.
