The successful acquisition of two new timpani drums with the help of EU funding, has been announced by the Nadur Local Council, in collaboration with the Socjeta Filarmonika Mnarja – a significant addition to the society’s musical ensemble.

The initiative is designed to support rural development and enhance quality of life, with a particular focus on engaging younger generations and fostering vibrant local communities.

The Council explained that this investment was made possible through funding under Measure 19.2 – Sub-Measure 4: Improve the Attractiveness of Living in Gozo for Young Persons and Young Families, part of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) 2014-2020.

The new timpani drums “will strengthen the Socjeta Filarmonika Mnarja’s instrumental capabilities and continue to enhance its role as a cultural cornerstone in Nadur,” said the Council. “The society has a long-standing tradition of musical excellence, community involvement, and youth engagement through its music education and outreach programmes.”

The Nadur Local Council and Socjeta Filarmonika Mnarja expressed their thanks all those involved in the application and implementation of this project, “reaffirming their dedication to nurturing cultural heritage and community wellbeing through strategic partnerships and European support.”
