New board of directors appointed for the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation

The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation (CYSO) has officially announced the appointment and inaugural meeting of its new board of directors. Following an initial appointment by the Council of Ministers, the board members convened to elect their executive officers. Marios Ioannou Elia serves as the president, with Panikos Georgoudis elected as vice president, Dr. Stalo Georgiou as secretary general, and Giorgos Thoukydidis as treasurer. The remaining board members are Marianna Galidi, Athina Kythraiotou, Giorgos Papageorgiou, Charikleia Strouthou, and Olympios Christofi.

Reports indicate that the final board composition includes two adjustments compared to the initial government announcement.
