Baroque, classical and 20th century music for flute and bassoon by Mozart, Telemann, Fialla, Bozza and Francaix 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 Ulrike Buhlmann (Bassoon) will be held in St Catherine’s Church in Valletta tomorrow at 11am.

Robert is a regular performer in chamber music, a member of Trio D’Argento, the resident chamber ensemble of the Malta Flute Society and he plays part time with the National Orchestra. He is also the choir director of The New Choral Singers. Mr Calleja was recently invited to perform at Portsmouth Cathedral and also attended choir conducting master classes in Hereford.

German-born Ulrike Buhlmann started bassoon lessons at the Potsdam School of Music. She furthered her studies at the Hochschule fuer Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin with Prof. F. Finsch. Consequently, for four years, Ulrike specialised under the guidance of Prof. K. Thunemann in orchestral performing. She has performed with several orchestras in Germany including RIAS Jugendorchester, Philharmonie der Nationen, and Berliner Kammerphilharmonie.

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