Up-and-coming Gozitan violinist Pierre Louis Attard, who has just concluded his undergraduate studies at the Ian Tomlin Academy, Napier University, Edinburgh, Scotland, will team up with pianist Gisele Grima for two consecutive recitals.

The first will be held at the Ministry for Gozo Hall, Victoria on Friday, the 27th of May, starting at 7.45pm, and the second at the Teatru Salesjan, Sliema on Saturday, the 28th of May, starting at 7.30pm.

The programme includes Brahms' Scherzo (from the F-A-E Sonata), Ives' Violin Sonata No. 4, Bartok's Violin Rhapsody No. 1, de Falla's Danse Espagnole (from La Vida Breve) and Paul Patterson's Luslawice Variations for solo violin. "The Ives, Bartok and Patterson will probably be performed for the first time in our islands," they said.

The concerts will be dedicated to the memory of Dr Ian Tomlin, who tirelessly supported and encouraged young Maltese musicians to pursue their musical. Both Attard and Grima are themselves former Ian Tomlin scholars at Napier.
