Lumia Flute Quartet will feature at the next RIDT lunchtime concert being held on Sunday. Organised in aid of the University’s Research Trust (RIDT), the concert, entitled Intimacy in Music, will be held at Madonna tal-Pilar Church, West Street, Valletta, at 11.30am.

Lumia Flute Quartet will be playing works by composers from the Classical period, Flute Quartet in G minor Op. 69 No. 3 by Georg Schneider, and the Flute Quartet in D major by Michael Haydn.

Michael Haydn, although not as well known as his elder brother Joseph Haydn, was a very respected musician who wrote over 360 compositions comprising both Church and instrumental music.

Haydn was a close friend of Mozart, who held his work in high esteem.

Georg Schneider, on the other hand, was a contemporary of Beethoven, and a significant figure in early 19th-century music in Berlin. He was active as a musician, concert promoter and composer. His music is full of wit, enthusiasm, and vitality.

Proceeds from RIDT lunchtime concert series will go towards research activities within the University, through RIDT.

No booking is required. The entrance for the concert will be against a recommended donation of €10.

The series is supported by Heritage Malta.
