Valletta-Varsavja-Vienna: Bringing together three musical cultures, where Malta-based Polish pianist Julia Miller, Polish-based Apertus Quartet and Maltese composer Karl Fiorini created an original musical performance ranging through three different eras – from the classical to the contemporary – within three different musical cultures.
The project included a Malta premiere of Polish romantic composer Moniuszko’s String Quartet no. 1 in D minor and a world premiere of Piano Quintet by Maltese contemporary composer Karl Fiorini. The performance was opened with Mozart’s one of only two minor piano concertos, Piano Concerto in D Minor, arranged for a piano quintet – in itself a Malta premiere.
This project was supported by Arts Council Malta and the Embassy of Poland in Valletta.
