NĀBU PĒRA: “SOUNDSCAPES OF NICOSIA”

The newly established group Nābu Pēra and the musical performance “Soundscapes of Nicosia" are being presented by Nicosia 2030, candidate city for the European Capital of Culture, on February 11, 2025 (20:30), at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre. The performance, inspired by the urban soundscape of Nicosia, is part of the 5^th Nicosia International Festival... never ends.

The musical ensemble features musicians Savvas Thoma, Natasa Hadjiandreou, and Dimitris Yiasemidis, who explore the sounds of the city they live and work in, offering the audience a unique musical experience, whose main goal is to redefine the relationship between modern individuals and the auditory environment that surrounds them.

The urban soundscape plays a crucial role in defining the identity and character of a city. The complex system of everyday sounds is something we cannot ignore. At the same time, modern life, shaped by technological advancements, is filled with new sounds of varying qualities and intensities, which have gradually become entrenched in our daily lives. The constant exposure to this system of sounds and the way we function within this specific urban soundscape serves as the driving force behind this performance.

The musical performance “Soundscapes of Nicosia" takes a fresh and original approach to the everyday sounds that surround us, drawing influences from various musical genres.
