Gozitan violinist Jean Noël Attard, 17, has just completed a six-week musical experience with the European Union Youth Orchestra.
Mr Attard had his second stint at the EUYO after having attended the 2006 summer school.
This year's tour marked the 30th anniversary of the orchestra. It started in Bolzano, Italy, and proceded to Nuremburg, Germany, Kerkrade, and The Netherlands. The orchestra then moved to Japan and South Korea. The last leg was China.
Attard is now in Edinburgh to follow a four-year undergraduate degree at the Ian Tomlin School of Music, Napier University, after having been awarded a scholarship by the Ian Tomlin Music Scholarship Trust.
