Music for flute and organ by Vivaldi, Veracini, Corelli and Langlais will feature in the next concert organised 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 in St Catherine's Church in Valletta on Thursday at 12.30pm.

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 first started piano lessons at the age of six and obtained the Advanced Certificate of the Royal Schools of Music, the Teacher's Diploma ALCM. She continued advanced technique and interpretation under the tutorship of Lucia Micallef. Romina also started studying the pipe organ at an early age under the guidance of Mro Alberto Borg OSA. She has given organ recitals and accompanied various artists and choirs in local churches such as St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta and St Paul's Metropolitan Cathedral in Mdina.

This concert is one in a series of concerts organised by St James Cavalier in collaboration with 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, with the support of The National Orchestra, is holding the Festival of the Golden Flute, which will include master classes and concerts by international flutists.

Entrance fee is a donation of Lm2. All proceeds will go to the restoration fund of the Church of St Catherine of Italy. For further information contact St James Cavalier on 2122 3216 or e-mail [email protected]
