Former Paphos Philharmonic Maestro Seeks Return

The former conductor of the Paphos Philharmonic, Zacharias Evangelou, has sent a letter to the Paphos Municipality expressing his position regarding his resignation and his desire to return to the position. Mr. Evangelou served the Philharmonic for 20 years with dedication and respect, continuing his family's musical tradition. His resignation was not voluntary but resulted from interference, disrespectful behavior, and a lack of respect, which also affected the musicians. He believes the conditions have changed with the new administrative data and requests the restoration of his relationship with the Municipality and his return to the position of conductor, not for personal justification, but for the restoration of institutional order and respect for the cultural institution.
