This year’s “Ierokipia” festival got off to a great start last Friday, 8 September. Once again, “Ierokipia” confirmed its standing as the most significant cultural institution in the Paphos district.
The opening of the events, held before a packed Geroskipou Square, featured the concert “Ta Tragoudia tis Pareas” (The Songs of the Company) by Manos Loizos, with Kostas Makedonas, Despina Olympiou, Andreas Elesnitsalis, the vocal ensemble “Diastasi” and an eight-piece orchestra. The “Ieroi Kipoi” Cultural Group also took part.
In his address, the Acting Mayor of Geroskipou, Kyriakos Hadjivasilis, stressed that “through systematic effort, the Municipality of Geroskipou has managed to establish u2018Ierokipiau2019 as an important cultural institution of more than local significance.”
Declaring the “Ierokipia” festival open on behalf of the President of the Republic, Government Spokesman Mr Konstantinos Letymbiotis praised the contribution of “Ierokipia” to culture.
As part of the opening ceremony, the Municipality of Geroskipou paid posthumous tribute to the late Michalakis Leptos for his contribution to the development of Geroskipou and his overall service to the Municipality. It also honoured Charalambos Pazaros, until recently a Municipal Councillor, for his service to the Municipality.
This week, the “Ierokipia” programme continues on Wednesday 13/9, at Geroskipou Gymnasium, with the theatrical performance “O Papafigkos”, and on Friday 15/9, at “Kato Vrysi”, with the musical performance “Ena Feggari Allokoto”, with Chryso Makariou on vocals and Manolis Neofytou on piano.
