On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the historic Philharmonic Society of Corfu, known as the "Old Philharmonic" (founded in 1840), will perform a major commemorative concert in Nicosia, Cyprus. The event, titled "Corfu – Cyprus: From West to East. Two Islands, One Nation, One Music Filled with Greece," will take place at Eleftheria Square at 7:00 PM with free admission for the public.

The concert will feature over 100 musicians traveling from Corfu to the Cypriot capital. The performance aims to celebrate the intertwined histories and cultural identities of the two islands. The event is held under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, with the support of the Nicosia Municipality and the Deputy Ministry of Culture.
