The Year 2015

The year started off with rehearsals for the opera L’Elisir d’Amore held in March at the Manoel Theatre. In May I had the opportunity to perform two Mozart pieces at the President’s San Anton Palace in Festa Palazz. In June I did my Grade 5 Johann Strauss School Of Music classical voice exam, in which I got a Distinction.

The Year 2015

Summer was busy with rehearsals for two concerts; Strummin’ What A Feelin’, held at Sir Temi Zammit Hall in mid-October, and Animae Gospel Choir In Concert ’15, held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre at the end of the same month. In November I started rehearsals for next year’s opera Orphée et Eurydice and joined the TMYO (Teatru Manoel Youth Opera). In December I had the pleasure to perform a Maltese classic, Viva Malta, with the Strummin’ guitarists together with Mro. Joe Brown & The Drop-Out Band at the L-Istrina yearly event.

Strummin’ What A Feelin’

The 14th edition of Strummin’ is now over. This year it was my 4th time participating in this yearly event, in which I sang the popular Maltese tune “Viva Malta” originally by Freddie Portelli. All proceeds from this year’s concert are going towards the St. Jeanne Antide Foundation in aid of their SOAR (Surviving Abuse with Resilience) project. A summer of rehearsals for the guitarists, band, backing-vocalists and soloists culminated in two great nights (9th and 10th October) with very warm audiences. Surely another experience to cherish!
