I would like to welcome you to our site, which offers an overview of the activities of the Pharos Arts Foundation where you may find information about what the Pharos Arts Foundation has done over the years, our current programmes as well as the Foundation’s future plans.

The Pharos Arts Foundation is dedicated to making a difference in people’s lives by offering inspiration and by fostering excellence and innovation. Living in a mundane world, sadly deficient in ideals and values, people’s lives can be enriched when offered opportunities to create and experience great music and art.

The Pharos Arts Foundation has established a world-wide reputation for its commitment to excellence and for promoting classical music in Cyprus, having presented more than 700 concerts over the past twenty years. Outstanding musicians are hosted in the Pharos Arts Foundation’s Concert Series as well as the annual International Pharos Chamber Music Festival (inaugurated in 2011) and the annual International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival (inaugurated in 2009).

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the Pharos Arts Foundation’s supporters and friends for their valuable help. We are truly grateful for your commitment to our mission and programmes. I would also like to encourage others to consider supporting the Foundation’s work. I believe passionately in the Pharos Arts Foundation’s mission to enrich people’s lives through the arts, education and culture. Societies may be transformed for the better through a deep commitment in exploring the spiritual world expressed through the arts and education. Our aim is for the Pharos Arts Foundation to become a beacon of light in Cyprus; bringing beauty and enthusiasm into people’s lives through the power of great music and art, and offering people the opportunity to discover and share the essential humanity that links us all.

I invite you to participate in our activities and to join the Pharos family in the traditions of artistic excellence and cultural diversity, for which the Pharos Arts Foundation is widely acknowledged.
