Concert, GATES / Recherche
Le 10 décembre 2025
This concert is organized by Evis SAMMOUTIS (GATES Senior Fellow) and Peter SHEPPARD SKÆRVED (Violinist).
This performance explores the Nicosia Études, emerging from Evis Sammoutis’ profound engagement with the history and materiality of Nicosia. Developed in close collaboration with Peter Sheppard Skærved who has performed them worldwide, from the Bergen International Festival to the Palazzo Rosso in Genova—these works illuminate the dialogue between sound and space, tradition and innovation, gesture and form.
Two of the pieces presented were composed as part of Evis Sammoutis’ GATES Fellowship project, Designing Sound, Sculpting Gesture: Composing Two New Solo Violin Works Using UPISketch as a Drawing Board, which concludes in the coming days.
The concert also forms part of Peter Sheppard Skærved’s Knowledge Exchange Violin project, made possible by Research England and the Royal Academy of Music, London.

Peter SHEPPARD SKÆRVED is acclaimed internationally for performances of a vast range of solo repertoire. His repertoire stretches from the late 16th century to hundreds of works written for him: these include major works by composers by established ‘greats’ such as Hans Werner Henze and George Rochberg, to the young composers with whom he collaborates worldwide.
Peter is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, with over one hundred critically acclaimed albums to his name. These range from concerto discs with orchestras including the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra to the complete Tartini Solo Sonatas, 24 Telemann Fantasies, cycles of Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert Sonatas, eight discs of solo works from the 1600s and many recordings of the works dedicated to him.
