The MCI October Concert will be featuring the soloists and choristers from Marie Therese Vassallo Voice Studio presenting a Maltese festival of well-known and loved music by Maltese composers. The singers are just back from their singing adventure in London, where they sang for the festivitie­s of Malta Day on 3 September. They sang a programme of Maltese folk songs during the Maltese festa in Westminste­r Hall and a full programme of sacred music by Maltese composers during the Solemn Mass in Westminste­r Cathedral and during Mass in the Medieval Carmelite complex of The Friars in Aylesford, Kent.

The evening will also include a dance presentati­on by Mary Jane Bellia Ballet School, under the direction of Mary Jane Bellia. The dance workshop is one of Malta’s leading dance centres, where children of all ages thrive in creative ballet classes and older students can choose from a wide selection of dance styles, including Ballet, Contempora­ry, Spanish, Hip Hop and Modern Dance.

The MCI October exhibition will be featuring works of Maltese artist Julia Curmi Cassar.

Everyone is invited to attend and a small donation at the door, to help cover some of the expenses, will be appreciate­d. More informatio­n may be obtained by phoning the MCI director on 2133 8923, 9980 0409; email: maltaculti­nst@gmail.com
