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.

Festa Palazz

The 2nd edition of Festa Palazz, in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund, happened on the 29th and 30th May at San Anton Gardens. On the first night, at the palace’s private garden, I sang two Mozart pieces; ‘Papageno’s Aria’ from ‘The Magic Flute’ and ‘Un Bacio Di Mano’. I was accompanied on piano by Ms. Julia Miller.

This was followed by a mini-concert, in which I sang ‘Funiculì, Funiculà’ to a very warm audience! Continue reading “World Voice Day 2015”
