The welcoming ambience of the church of Santa Marija ta' Bir Miftuħ in Gudja (in the vicinity of the airport) with its medieval architecture and frescoes and perfect acoustics provides a truly unique setting for the concerts of the Bir Miftuh Festival.

Din l-Art Ħelwa's are procuring high calibre international and national musicians who will delight the audience with select and fascinating repertoires. 

 

First Concert - Saturday, 21 May at 8pm

A Classical Accordion Recital by Pietro Roffi

This concert is being held under the patronage of the Embassy of Italy and with the support of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.  During this special performance one can truly appreciate the versatility and expressive sound of the accordion - an instrument which is almost an orchestra in itself. Pietro Roffi will regale the audience with works by Vivaldi, Janáček, Piazzolla, Grieg, Hermosa, Saint-Saëns and Zolotarjov. 

 

Second Concert - Saturday, 28 May at 8pm

A Double Bass and Harp Performance by Gjorgji Cincievski - Double-Bass and Esmeralda Galea Camilleri - Harp

This concert is sponsored by the Embassy of France and the Alliance Française de Malte - Méditerranée.

This unusual combination of instruments will surely be a most enthralling experience.

Gjorgji Cincievski and Esmeralda Galea Camilleri will entertain the audience with works by Debussy, Casadesus, Saint-Saëns, Fauré, Massenet, Satie and Bizet.

 

Third Concert - Saturday, 4 June at 8pm

A Classical Guitar Recital by Liat Cohen - BOULANGER Prize, guitar
