The Fusionia story started with Sorin teaching violin Marios and Savvas in their teenage years, followed by their continuation of studies together in London, experimenting around Fusionia Duo, then their coming back to Cyprus as members of Cyprus Symphony Orchestra beside their teacher. The principal cellist of the same orchestra, Jakub Otcenasek, joined them as a founder member for a year, then Robert, who luckily lives and works in Cyprus, replaced him. In the end of January 2019, they performed their first concert, despite the fact that Marios was still in the army. The concert was held in Kasteliotissa Medieval Hall Nicosia, where they played Mozart and Mendelssohn. After writing their first arrangement - Cypriot Suite – the quartet performed it in Paphos in Technopolis20 in June 2019 and also performed two concerts, one in the Municipal Theatre Nicosia and the other in Pattichion Municipal Theatre in Limassol, as part of the Kypria International Festival in September 2019. The project was named Viennese Pictures. They played
Webern, Y. Papageorgiou and their second arrangement - Strauss Valses.
