MINI INTERVIEW WITH\u00a0GEORGIA D\u00d6TZER\u00a0FROM\u00a0RIALTO WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Limassol, at the South of the island of Cyprus,\u00a0and July… The idea that comes to the mind is\u00a0hot Sun, beach, roasted halloumi cheese with frozen white wine… and, for the past 14 years, also world music! Yes, because Rialto World Music Festival in been held in Limassol since 2006.<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

It started as a\u00a0series of events dedicated to diversity and tolerance and now, in 2020, it will become 15! I want to congratulate Ms. Georgia D\u00f6tzer, the “mastermind behind the success of Rialto World Music Festival” in words of her compatriot Antonis Antoniou, from Monsieur Doumani, and the team. Many more to come, Ms. D\u00f6tzer! In the meantime, let me share some of your insights.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

MM – What do you search in an artist when you create the programme?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nGD:\u00a0<\/strong>The quality, the different sound, the uniqueness and the attractive stage performance.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

MM – Which are the global objectives of your festival?<\/strong>
\nGD:<\/strong>\u00a0To highlight the diverse and rich universe of the world music. To promote the common elements\u00a0and the differences in music, as a universal language connecting people. In this framework also to promote Cyprus and our festival as a bridge between them.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

M<\/strong>M – What are the most complicated or difficult issues to deal with in your festival?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nGD:\u00a0<\/strong>The promotion and the right communication of the ensembles and their music,\u00a0especially when they are not quite known.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

MM – Which are currently the main challenges for this kind of cultural proposals like yours?<\/strong>
\nGD:\u00a0<\/strong>Of course the high flight cost of the groups from abroad. Also to attract young audiences and to broaden the existing one. To make the festival more attractive for the tourists and visitors of Cyprus.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

MM – In one sentence, summarise the reason\/s to go to your festival.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
GD:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0To listen, meet and get to know groups and musicians who share a rich cultural past and also develop a contemporary musical present, with common origins and influences, organizing a series of events, mostly music, which draw their inspiration from the tradition of each country around the Mediterranean.<\/div>\n
