The 11th edition of Gaulitana: A Festival of Music will include a series of vocal masterclasses with Maltese internationally-renowned soprano Miriam Gauci between Saturday, 25 and Tuesday, 28 February.
Open to all singers, morning and afternoon sessions will be held followed by a concluding public concert by the chosen participants on the final day at the Gozo Ministry Hall, St Francis Square, Victoria Gozo. These workshops will coincide with Carnival celebrations, ever-popular with revellers in Gozo.
Gaulitana's artist-in-residence Alexander Frey will give a piano masterclass on Thursday, 16 March. The masterclass is free of charge and will be held at the Gozo Ministry Hall in the afternoon.
A new initiative of the festival is an open call for the Artist-in-Residence Collaboration project. Local performing artists are invited to submit their proposals for a 10-minute work pairing any instrument/voice with the organ. The chosen entry will be performed with Alexander Frey during his organ recital on Friday, 17 March.
Interested parties are asked to send an email on [email protected] for the relevant application forms and further details. Applications will be received until Tuesday, 31 January.
