Sounds of Malta and Australia

VENUE: SALA ISOUARD

Join us for an unforgettable intercultural collaboration as Australian cellist Chris Pidcock and Maltese pianist Gabi Sultana lead us through a programme of fresh new music. Ranging from First Nation and Australian composers to Malta’s most exciting younger composers, Gabi and Chris will also share two pieces close to their hearts; Walter Wolff’s jazz-infused Cello Sonata, and Xenakis’s epic Nomos Alpha for solo cello.
