#AGC15 in Concert

A year a half of rehearsals has culminated to last weekend’s concerts at the Mediterranean Conference Centre; three concerts packed with emotions and satisfaction. Choir direction was in the able hands of Pamela Bezzina, who wrote all the choir arrangements and guided us throughout the journey to these concerts. Christian Borg, our manager and pianist, produced the concerts. We were accompanied on stage by a 7 piece band under the direction of the talented Kris Spiteri, who also wrote all the musical arrangements, and a 70-piece children’s choir whose angelic voices joined us in a few songs.

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!
