Mikiel Anton Vassalli is the network of the state specialised schools for the education of art, music, drama and dance. "It is important that we invest in the educational resources of these schools especially when considering that courses offered may lead to a qualification at a Higher Diploma Level.

"In this context it is most appropriate to thank Liz Groves who donated over €3,000 worth of books to the Gozo Visual and Performing Arts School," said Victor Galea, MAV College principal.

Groves, owner of Island Books, now retired, wanted to make this donation where her books would do the most good. Through this donation, the students will be able to access comprehensive literature during their studies.

The donated collection of books consists of Chamber, Choral and Orchestral Music as well as anthologies and biographies of great composers, among others.
