The Rotterdam Ensemble, under the direction of Robert Beltran Zavala, will today be holding a concert in commemoration of those who have suffered or lost their lives for the sake of freedom of expression.
A Concert for Fallen Heroes will feature the participation of Maltese mezzosoprano Clare Ghigo, oboist Jennifer Melville and local clarinettist Jessica Ellul. Music by Schubert, Barber, Puccini, Orff and Mahler will be performed.
All proceeds from this concert will go to the old parish church of St Julian’s, known as Lapsi church, which is collecting funds to restore the 17th-century companion paintings of the four Evangelists housed there.
Parking will be available at St Julian’s primary school, opposite Lapsi church.
The concert will take place today at 8pm at Lapsi church in St Julian’s. For tickets call 7970 3139 or send an e-mail to knisjalapsi@gmail.com.
