In the European Capital of Culture programme, the term ‘Travellers of the World’ refers to the visitors of Pafos, these being conquerors, travellers and tourists or migrants and refugees that came to Pafos seeking refuge.
The history of migration is sealed with a feeling of nostalgia, the pain of separation and the longing of return. All these are expressed in a more direct way through music and songs from all around the world. These songs of the foreign land/exile, tell the sorrows and desires that mark such a complex (and unfortunately timely) sociopolitical phenomenon such as migration and the refugee problem. In this context, Music Schools of Cyprus sing the stories, the sorrow, the suffering and the feelings of the people that stayed behind, wrapped up in a big farewell. Participating singer Melina Kana is one of the leading voices of Greek music.

Conductor: Socrates Terpizis,

** Along with the concert an installation, titled T-Shirts 2017, will be installed at the Castle Square. The installation is a collaboration of the visual artist Suzan Vargas with students and teachers of the Schools. This project is part of the wider programme Schools In Action and is supported by the Visual Art Inspector in Schools, Giorgos Gabriel.
