Lumia Flute QuartetL Yaroslav Miklukho, Sarah Spiteri, Fiorella Camilleri and Reggie Clews.

Lumia Flute Quartet will feature during a lunchtime concert, Intimacy in Music, being held today. The concert is being organised in aid of the University’s Research Trust (RIDT) and is being held at 11.30am at the Madonna tal-Pilar church, West Street, Valletta.

The 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.

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 Beet-hoven and a significant figure in early 19th-century music in Berlin.

He was active as a musi-cian, concert promoter and composer. His music is full of wit, enthusiasm and vitality.

Proceeds will go towards research activities at university

The quartet is made up of Fiorella Camilleri on flute, Reggie Clews on violin, Sarah Spiteri on viola and Yaroslav Miklukho on cello. All musicians are established orchestral and chamber music performers having performed extensively both locally and abroad.

Proceeds from RIDT Lunch-time Concert Series will go towards research activities within the University, through RIDT.

The entrance to the concert is against a recommended donation of €10 and no booking is needed.
