I would like to thank Għaqda Mużikali L’Isle Adam of Festa San Guzepp Rabat tal-Imdina for teaching music to children and organising prize day concerts at which children are greatly encouraged to gain confidence and develop their full potential by performing for a few minutes – each according to his/her ability and level of achievement; as well as for all its superb musical performances, cultural events and entertaining, social, educational and philanthropic activities – particularly those put up during these past 14 months.

13 December’s Vocal and Instrumental Concert held in the auditorium of St Agatha Boy’s School, Rabat was a particularly marvellously melodious, brilliantly entertaining auditory and visual experience − the best Christmas present Għaqda Mużikali L’Isle Adam could have given us music lovers.

I wished this concert to go on for several more hours but of course I appreciate that such performances are very demanding on the organisers, musicians, singers, directors and helpers. Still, there will be many more events in the future, God willing! So I invite fellow music lovers to support this band club, to pray to God and Saint Joseph to continue to guide and bless the central and other various sub-committees of Għaqda Mużikali L’Isle Adam and to check out the site www.bandalisleadam.com/home.html regularly for updates: and to share this info with all your friends.

Better still start here: www.bandalisleadam.com. Turn on the speakers and enjoy!

A very merry, healthy, peaceful, blessed new year and long life to all readers.
