He will take centre stage both as soloist and conductor in this enticing programme led by The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra's Marcelline Agius featuring works by Donizetti, Rossini, Bellini and Mendelssohn. Apart from two exciting works featuring the oboe as concerto soloist, the evening starts off with a rare Donizetti sinfonia which Dini Ciacci has recorded with the Orchestra of the San Carlo Opera Theatre in Naples (Sony International). The programme reaches its culmination with Felix Mendelssohn's enigmatic 'Scottish' Symphony, which was dedicated to "H.M. Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Ireland".Classical music lovers are in for a treat since the entrance fee is a nominal €10 and €5 for concessions. All funds from ticket sales will be going towards The Inspire foundation and further donations can be made on leaving the concert.The Inspire Foundation is delighted to be working in partnership with The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.  "We believe that music is such a universal language, that it represents inclusion in the best way possible.

This time we chose Inspire because it too works towards a cause that we truly believe in.  Everybody has a right to equality and inclusion, and Inspire works relentlessly to make this happen for people with disabilities. It is a pleasure and an honour to be able to contribute to this cause in any way," said Sigmund Mifsud, CEO and Chairperson of The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.The concert will be held on 31 January, 2015, at Sir Temi Zammit Hall at The University of Malta.
