Music for flute and organ by Vivaldi, Veracini, Corelli and Langlais will feature in the next concert organized by St James Cavalier in aid of the St Catherine of Italy Church restoration fund.

The performance by Robert Calleja (flute) and Romina Morrow (organ) will be held at St Catherine’s Church in Valletta tomorrow at 11am.

Robert is a regular performer in chamber music. He is a member of the National Youth Orchestra and forms part of the Trio D’Argento together with flutists Rebecca Hall and Fiorella Camilleri, the resident chamber ensemble of the Malta Flute Society. He is also the choir director of The New Choral Singers. Mr Calleja was recently invited to Portsmouth to play during the annual concert of St Edmund’s College. He also attended choir conducting master classes in Hereford.

Romina started attending piano lessons at the age of six. She obtained the Advanced Certificate of the Royal Schools of Music and the Teacher’s Diploma A.L.C.M. and furthered her studies in advanced technique and interpretation under the tutorship of Ms Lucia Micallef. Romina also studied the pipe organ since early childhood under the guidance of Mro Alberto Borg osa. She has given organ recitals and accompanied various artists and choirs at local churches such as St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta and St Paul’s Metropolitan Cathedral in Mdina.

This concert is one from a series of concerts organised by the Malta Flute Society. The Society was founded to meet the growing demand for training and performance opportunities for students. In June, the Malta Flute Society will be organizing the Festival of the Golden Flute, which will include master classes and concerts by international flutists.

Entrance fee for each concert is Lm2. All proceeds will go towards the restoration fund of the Church of St Catherine of Italy. For further information contact St James Cavalier on 21 223 216 or e-mail [email protected].
