Flautist Silvio Zammit and pianist Ramona Zammit Formosa take the stage once again to present a lunchtime concert of flute music at the Augustinian Monastery in Valletta.

The flute duo will be performing works of mostly Latin-American swing rhythms.  The programme highlights Martin’s Suite Havana, Lecouna’s Mazurka Glissando, Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe and Abreu’s Tici Tico, among others.

Silvio and Ramona Zammit have been active as a duo for the past 20 years. They are both fellows of the London College of Music and teach music in the Malta School of Music. 

In 1998, the duo won the Lloyd Weber medal for distinction in interpretation. They have performed in various solo and chamber recitals in the US, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal, Bulgaria and England. They have also recorded CDs of Maltese music by Pace and Camilleri. In collaboration with Ġukulari Ensemble, they have also recorded CDs of 18th and 19th-century music. Several Maltese composers have dedicated works to the duo.  Their extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary.

After the concert, visitors have the opportunity to enjoy a free guided tour of the monastery museum.

The concert is taking place today at noon at St Augustine Monastery, Old Bakery Street, Valletta. Proceeds from the event will go to the restoration project of the Augustinian Monastery. Tickets can be obtained from the venue itself half an hour before the concert begins. For more details, call 7968 0952 or send an e-mail on baroccomalta@gmail.com.
