Singing for peace and reunification of our island

Dear friends,

When it feels like we’re at the door to partition, actions such as these become a necessity.

On Thursday at 11am, the multicommunal choir (that I also happen to be a member of) Kıbrıs Havaları Derneği/Cyprus Songs Association/Κυπριακός Σύνδεσμος Τραγουδιού performed a number of traditional Cyprus songs at Paphos Gate, in Nicosia.

We will be performing again this Saturday at 5pm (same place!).

A few Greek Cypriot members gathered on one side, and some Turkish Cypriot members on the other side of the divided walls.

Our choir hasn’t met for a rehearsal in just over one year since the outbreak of the coronavirus on the island, in March 2020. We are very much missing each other!
