When is the next performance?

This year started out quite busy with two performances in January; Durante’s Requiem with The Monteverdi Project and Biber’s Requiem with KorMalta.

In March I was then part of the chorus in Rossini’s Requiem, directed by Vivien Hewitt. This was held at the Manoel Theatre and came out to be the last performance just before a number of health restrictions came into place due to COVID-19.

When is the next performance? Who knows … in the mean time, here is clip from last December’s concert, A Night of Madrigal & Early Baroque Music with The Monteverdi Project.

Upcoming Concerts

KorMalta

After a well-deserved summer break, rehearsals are back in full swing for a couple of upcoming projects! This November, on All Souls’ Day, I shall be singing Biber’s Requiem in F minor with KorMalta and VIBE (Valletta International Baroque Ensemble). This will be held at St Dominic’s Church in Valletta. This requiem will then have a repeat performance in January, as part of the Valletta Baroque Festival 2020, with the latter taking place at the Parish Church of St. George in Qormi.

Together with the Monteverdi Project we shall be holding two concerts under the direction of Mro. Marco Mencoboni. Starting with the one on the 14th of December, we will be performing a number of madrigals and pieces from the late Renaissance and early Baroque period. The music is from the likes of Girolamo Frescobaldi, Gesualdo Caro, Giovanni De Macque, Alessandro Grandi and Orlando di Lasso amongst others. In mid-January, we shall then perform Durante’s Requiem in C minor with Cantar Lontano & VIBE. This will also be part of the Valletta Baroque Festival 2020 and will be held at the Church of St. Philip of Agira in Ħaż-Żebbuġ.
