The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation's series of events 'Moments at the Museum '24' is launching this year's activities with the interactive workshop for families 'Camila Camelari, let's go to Varosha", at 11am on Sunday, 13 October.

Through an activity inspired by the island's music and the museum's collections, children and their families are invited to get to know, sing and illustrate the island's traditional children's songs, an announcement from the Cultural Foundation notes.

"Together with the musical group ANTAMA we will discover the traditional musical instruments of our country. We will get to know the violin, the lute, the tabouchia, the pitchiawli, we will recognize what materials they are made of, as well as which category each one belongs to. We will get to know the rhythms of our folk music through active music games. The audience will have the opportunity to hear and sing traditional songs and arrangements such as "Pyri pyri to papyrus", "Camel camel", "Chibi chibi to aito" etc.," the announcement continued.

The participants will have the opportunity to express their imagination and be inspired by making images and improvised musical instruments that will reflect their impressions and experiences from this musical tour. Animator visual artist Irini Zenonos will encourage the children, together with their parents, to illustrate performances inspired by these traditional songs.
