The Denner Clarinet Quartet were the protagonists at the first summer concert organised by the Malta Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in the courtyard of its premises, Palazzo De La Salle in Valletta.

They played a variety of light music, starting with Caprice by Grundman, followed by Bardinerie by Bach, then Grieg’s Anitra’s Dance, It takes Four to Tango, Bohemian Rhapsody and Czardas. During the interval, all those present were treated to a complementary glass of wine by the society and were invited to visit the art exhibition by Eman Grima which was kept open for the occasion.

After the interval, the quartet played Send in the Clowns, Yesterday, Beach and Blues, Moon River, Ginn Fizz, Libertango, 12th Street Rag and concluded the evening with a resounding rendition of L-Imnarja by Carmelo Pace. A most enjoyable evening was spent by the many people present, the vast majority of whom were non-Maltese.
