An initiative by NnG Promotions and supported by HSBC will give some 200 children between the age of seven and 15 the opportunity to be part of the choir accompanying the National Philharmonic Orchestra in the concert by Joseph Calleja and Michael Bolton at the Luxol Grounds in Pembroke on 19 July.

Applicants may pick up a form from any HSBC branch in Malta and Gozo and return it to NnG Promotions by Monday 11 May. Children are not required to have a background in music but shall undergo an audition on 16 and 17 May. Selected applicants will receive formal training by soprano Gillian Zammit between end of May and mid July.
