La Scatola Magica
With Dott. Anna Porcheddu at the Italian Cultural Institute
It’s the second Tuesday of the month, it’s 6.30 pm so it must be “The Magic Box” at the Italian Cultural Institute! Continuing the Programme, Dr Porcheddu is delighted to present the eighth in this most successful series. And this month we will be turning our attention to the Opera
This evening we are extremely pleased to welcome Mro John Galea and tenor Charles Vincenti to the Institute.
Mro Galea obtained the Fellowship of Trinity College London and the Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music (London) in pianoforte performance, graduated with honours at Durham University (UK) and continued post graduate studies at Università degli Studi di Pavia. His compositions have been performed in Malta, Greece, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and the UK. In 2009 Dr Galea has been appointed head of the Music Studies Department at the University of Malta.
Charles Vincenti is also very well known in Malta. He received B.A. (Hon) degree in music, specializing in voice and in 2010 was invited in India to take part, as a soloist, in “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace”, by contemporary Welsh composer Karl Jenkins. His performance was well received by the audience and the local press. He has taken part in many concerts in Malta and has already collaborated with the Italian Cultural Institute
Being the 200-year birthday of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, we will enjoy a special evening with Mro John Galea and tenor Charles Vincenti who will allow us to be carried away by some of Verdi’s most beautiful arias. And of course we will join them afterwards for an informal chat over a glass of wine and a little something.
