Pianist Joanne Camilleri returns for another recital with a programme that includes Bach’s English Suite No.2, Bach-Busoni’s Toccata & Fugue in D Minor and the premiere of Alex Vella Gregory’s Sonata No.5 Litanija.
A prize-winning graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music (UK), Camilleri was the first pianist to be awarded a Doctorate of Music in Performance by the University of Malta. Described as “a musician of high intelligence and artistic vision” by international pianist William Fong, her versatility has seen her perform in numerous venues around Europe as recitalist, concerto soloist, chamber musician and orchestral/continuo player to high acclaim.
An avid chamber musician, Camilleri has worked with many professional partners in various ensembles. As member of the Camilleri Trio, she toured Sweden and UK and recorded a score for a silent film by Yasujirô Ozu which was released on DVD by the British Film Institute.
She has also collaborated with distinguished conductors such as Wayne Marshall, Lancelot Führy, Clark Rundell, Eric Hull, Philip Walsh and Michael Laus, and recently released her first solo album, In Bach’s Footsteps.
Joanne Camilleri performs on Thursday at 8pm at the Sala Isouard, the Manoel Theatre, Valletta.
