Legends from the Middle Ages
An event for children. Malcolm and Joseph from More or Less Theatre are storytellers with a difference. Following the success of their educational series of plays and last year’s Manoel Theatre pantomime Red Riding Hood and You Know Who... they return with their latest project – a story-telling event aimed at young children. As they take turns to read little-known stories from the past, Joseph and Malcolm act them out and, with the help of the occasional volunteer from the audience, bring them vividly to life to capture the imaginations of young and old alike.
8pm on the Quadrangle, Msida Campus, University of Malta
The Science of Wine
Winemaker Roger Aquilina together with Malta Café Scientifique will talk about the science and art behind fermenting wine and how wine is made nowadays by manipulating well known scientific phenomena. Oenology is studied throughout the world with many wine research colleges pushing the boundary on how wine is made and tastes. In Malta, a recently restored wine research station which dates back to 1947 was set up. The station is now run by the M.S.D.E.C in collaboration with the University of Malta.
Entrance is against a €5 donation to the University of Malta Research Trust (RIDT). Wine sponsored by Marsovin can be tasted after the event.

Trap on Campus
A mix of jazz, funk and blues playing mostly standards with Trap’s own arrangements and some original tunes too.
Jazz combo Trap will be taking the stage on Campus playing funk, jazz and blues tunes with a modern sound. Trap was originally set up as a guitar duo, but the inclusion of bass and drums give the quartet a unique and uncommon line-up. Warren Galea, who studies electric guitar at the Johann Strauss School of Music, has played and studied abroad. Jes Psaila has played the guitar in a diverse number of styles over the years, with jazz and improvisation being his main musical interests. Alan Portelli, who has been playing bass since 2003, has played with various bands of different musical genres and is now focusing on jazz. Manuel Pulis is currently studying drums and percussion at the Siena Jazz University and is involved in a number of local and international music projects.
