8.30pm, Bellapais Abbey. World renowned Cypriot pianist and
composer, Arman Ratip is performing at Bellapais. A review of a

captivated the audience. The atonal, poly-rhythmic and fiendishly
difficult compositions with new technics for the piano, create a
mysteriously unpredictable musical atmosphere which is colourful,
exciting, at times shocking and splendidly original. The grandeur of
the inimitable "King of the Avant-Garde" and "The Great Improviser"
is remarkable to say the least"
