Jury Member

Report by Dr. Nefen Michaelides, jury member of the composition contest organized by the Cyprus Ministry of Education 1985, about the composer Theophanos Dymiotis Excerpts from the report in English "Theophanos Dymiotis... dissolved the traditional Cypriot folk melody into its smallest atomic elements and spread those elements throughout the whole composition from the beginning to the end in a masterly way creating a wonderful dialogue between the violin and the piano". "Only by the KODA he collected all these elements again of the given theme appearing it in its original form". "Such a Cypriot composer could be the savior of the traditional Cypriot music, which is in danger to disappear" "... and needs to be developed by such a composer in order to raise the level of this music and make it alive".
