Description
The 4th Cyprus-Russia Gala was attended by many important political, financial and cultural figures from Cyprus and Russia, proving the two countries’ cordial and warm relations. This year’s event was special since we are celebrating 50 years of Cypriot independence and 50 years of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the Russian Federation.
The Gala, organized by Ensemble Productions in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus, is under the high patronage of Mrs Elsi Christofias and made possible thanks to Interros International Investments Limited’s generous contribution. The Gala treated its hundreds of guests to some of Russia’s, Cyprus’s and Greece’s most famous artists.
This year’s Gala featured outstanding performances from the renowned Kremlin Chamber Orchestra, the famous soprano Liubov Kazarnovskaya, the Lundstrem Jazz Orchestra, the amazing Dancecyprus, the bi-communal group Dance for Peace, the well-known singer-songwriter Alexandar Rosenbaum and the popular singer Antonis Remos.
A special award was presented by the President of Cyprus Mr Demetris Christofias to Mr Vladimir Potanin, in appreciation for his profound and ongoing contributions to the development of cultural and humanitarian relations and the strengthening of the relations between Cyprus and Russia.
As always, the Gala’s proceeds will be donated once again to the Radiomarathon Foundation for Children with special needs.
