Pieris Pieridis, an important figure in Evangelismos Music Stores, has passed away. His name is closely linked to Cyprus’ music scene for many years.
With stores in Nicosia, Limassol, and Larnaca, Evangelismos was a go-to place for musicians, students, and teachers. They provided instruments, accessories, and books with care, professionalism, and a love for music. Pieris wasn’t just a businessman; he was a man of action. He believed music should be nurtured with consistency, quality, and respect — values he passed on to many musicians.
Friends and acquaintances shared their thoughts about his character and his biggest passion: music.
MARINA CHRISTOU
“Safe travels, dear friend. It’s hard to believe you’re gone. Not because you didn’t fight — you did until the end — but because people like you seem never truly to leave.
You were rare. Kind-hearted, gentle, and well-meaning. With quiet strength and kindness that embraced rather than shouted. Always ready to help, always understanding, always with a pure heart. You weren’t just an excellent professional and director of a famous music store in Cyprus; above all, you were human. That’s what we’ll remember most: your integrity, the sweetness of your soul, the light you brought into our lives. You left us too soon, Pieris, but you left behind so much love. That love will stay with you forever. May the earth that covers you be light. You’ll live on in our hearts.”
GIORGOS GIATROU
“Come on, my Pieris. 1150€ offer is nonsense. I packed it up to leave for Sotiris. He smiled and told me to finish it and not tell anyone. My friend, I’m proud to have known you and your family. It wasn’t your time yet, but God sometimes wants the good ones close to him.”
LEFTERIS ELEFTHERIOU
“One of the best players I’ve had. Always ready to help the team with a nice left-footed cross and strong shot. Take care where you’re going, my player.”
PANAGIOTIS PONTIKOS
“Farewell my brave Pieris, words are unnecessary… Good Paradise my friend.”
KYRIAKOS CHATZITOFIS
“Come on my Pieris, my best man… See you on the other side… Eternal memory…”
