Soloists Jesmond Azzopardi and Roderick Bugeja accompanied on the piano by AnnMarie Chetcuti will present Euphonium in Concert for the forthcoming Lunchtime Concert. Organised by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts, the concert will be held on Wednesday 11th May 2005 at the Sala Isouard, Manoel Theatre, Valletta, at 12.35pm. Admission is free.

The Euphonium repertoire includes Midnight Euphonium by Goof Richards, Salut d'Amour by Edward Elgar, Jackie's Song by Julian Lloyd Webber and Two Faure Duets arranged by Steven Mead among others.

Jesmond Azzopardi recently obtained the A.T.C.L diploma of the Trinity College of Music in Euphonium Performing. He started to play the Euphonium under the tuition of Mr. Joe Falzon and furthered his studies under the direction of Mro Paul Borg. He studied theory of music under the direction of Mro Lawrence Borg. In 2001 Jesmond won a scholarship to the London College of Music in London. He forms part of the Versatile Brass Ensemble, the much-acclaimed Mediterranean Brass Quintet and the Euphoria Quartet. He plays regularly at St. James Cavalier and the Manoel Theatre. Jesmond is also an active brass instruments teacher at the 12th May Band Club in Zebbug (Malta) and St. Mary Band Club in Dingli. Jesmond currently forms part as a sub-principal Trombone player with the National Orchestra of Malta.

Roderick Bugeja started music lessons at the Johann Strauss School of Music. He continued his studies with Mro Paul Borg and in 1995 he obtained the LLCM diploma and the FLCM diploma in 1997. He forms part of the Maltese National Orchestra where he plays the role of principal trombone. With the euphonium he competed in national competitions and played as a soloist with local bands and international euphonium players, such as Robert Childs. He started teaching at the Catholic Institute and later on at Pinto Band Club, Qormi, where he is currently the assistant conductor. He is also the conductor of the Victory Band Club Naxxar.

AnnMarie is a holder of the Licenciate of the Royal Schools of Music, London and the Licenciate of the Trinity College of Music in Pianoforte Performing. To her credit, she also holds both the Licenciate and Fellowship of the London College of Music in Professional Viola Performing. AnnMarie has given concerts as soloist, ensemble and orchestral playing locally and abroad on both instruments. In December 1999, she placed first as violist in the mature category at the Young Musicians Competition for Strings and was awarded a scholarship at the Thames Valley University in London. As accompanist, AnnMarie is a regular, accompanying the top musicians on the island. She also accompanied international cellist, Julian Lloyd Webber last February at a Classical Connections Concert organised by the Malta Trade Fairs Corporation.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
