Don and Catharine Bryan Cultural Series

The Don and Catharine Bryan Cultural Series 2021 season opens with Chris Kypros Piano Recital.

Chris Kypros Piano Recital

JANUARY 24 AT 4 PM | FREE VIRTUAL EVENT | Link to be provided prior to the event.

The season begins on January 24 when pianist Chris Kypros returns to the Outer Banks for a performance. In 2013, Kypros was the first artist the Bryan Cultural Series brought to the Outer Banks. Performing a wide range classical music, his style and technique are impeccable, highlighting subtle interpretations that call attention to the genius of the compositions he performs. In addition to his piano performances, Kypros has composed a number of choral works for the Greek Orthodox Church including Liturgy of Peace in 1980, Liturgy of Hope in 2013, and Liturgy of Light in 2016.
