About Nicosia Fusion Trio

The Nicosia Fusion Trio was founded in 2025 following the visit of Argentine guitarist and composer Sebastián Legovich to Cyprus. Together with Angelos Angelidis and Marios Nicolaou – both multi-instrumentalists and members of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra – they created a unique ensemble that bridges cultures, traditions and eras.

The concert programme

Titled “East to West / Past to Present”, the concert takes the audience on a journey across time and space, featuring:

  • Classical works (e.g., Erik Satie, Isaac Albéniz)
  • Argentine colours and original compositions by Sebastián Legovich
  • Traditional melodies from Cyprus, Southern Italy and Ireland
  • Three solo performances highlighting each artist individually
