It is composed and directed by youths who though come from various sectors in society share the same passion….love for Music. they venture into old and contemporary Music, going through each piece in bits and pieces, in its history, in its interpretation, in its message! their dedication and constant development, thanks to their Musical direct or Marouska Attard, has helped them establish as one of the most renowned Choirs in Malta. In fact, on ‘the Guardian’ of November 16th, 2010, one of their major productions was listed with the top ten events in Europe, alongside internationally renowned producers and productions.

Its repertoire includes pieces by great composers like Palestrina, Victoria, Purcell, Bach, Mozart and also contemporary ones like Per...    less

Campbell’s piece hardly relents, even as the pace slows this work presses forward with a colorful and often modal harmonic language. “Border” is a call for justice, empathy and compassion, a summons to our collective conscience.  less
