Mezzo-soprano Claire GhigoMezzo-soprano Clare Ghigo joins pianist Julia Miller to celebrate some of the world’s most beloved songs and arias in a lunchtime concert at St Augustine Monastery in Old Bakery Street, Valletta, tomorrow.
Ghigo will perform Bellini’s Vaga Luna, Debussy’s Mandoline and Beau Soir and Respighi’s Nebbie. The programme ensues with Mahler’s Ich Bin der Weld im Abhanden Gekommen and Rossini’s Canzonetta Spagnuola and will conclude with Granados’s three arias El Tralala y El Punteado, El Majo Timido and El Majjo Discreto. After the concert, visitors have the opportunity to appreciate a free guided tour of the chambers of the monastery which are adorned with historical sacred ornaments.
The concert starts at noon. 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 to baroccomalta@gmail.com.
