Earlier this year, Cypriot artist, singer and songwriter Sophia Patsalides performed at a historic event, hosted at the Embassy of Brazil in London. Over February 22-23, 2024, Sophia was chosen to be among 95 other talented female musicians from around the world in an awe-inspiring 26-hour acoustic live-stream, featuring music composed by women and non-binary composers exclusively. This groundbreaking initiative, spearheaded by Soprano Gabriella Dilaccio and Donne UK, successfully set a new Guinness World Record for the longest acoustic live-streaming event.
The event, which celebrated the rich contributions of women composers, was streamed live to a global audience, highlighting the exceptional talent of women in the music industry. Patsalides captivated listeners with her original songs and heartfelt performances, reinforcing her reputation as a powerful voice in contemporary music.
Following the live-stream’s monumental success, a celebratory ceremony was held on July 30 2024, at the Embassy of Brazil in London, during which all participating artists signed the Guinness World Record certificate, commemorating their collective achievement.
The Cypriot artist expressed her pride and gratitude for being part of such a significant event. “Performing alongside these incredible women and contributing to this record-breaking initiative has been an immense honour,” she said. “This achievement not only highlights the power of women in music, but also showcases the unity and strength of our artistic community.”
Patsalides’ participation and performance brings honour to her homeland, Cyprus, shining a spotlight on the island’s rich cultural heritage and artistic talent. Her involvement in this record-setting event underscores her dedication to promoting women’s voices in music and commitment to artistic excellence.
The February live-stream and subsequent celebration at the London Embassy of Brazil, mark significant milestones in Patsalides’ career, further solidifying her status as a rising star of the global music scene. Fans and music enthusiasts can look forward to more inspiring performances and original compositions from the talented young artist.
