Classical music performances attract enthusiastic audience |21 June 2018

Students studying music, those learning to play different instruments as well as their parents and other classical music lovers were enthralled by the performances of a classical music duo – violinist Luigi Ghiani and pianist Kuniko Boniface -- during a concert on Friday evening.

The event was held in a packed Theatres des Palmes at Mont Fleuri and it was the first in a series of such concerts that the National Conservatoire of Performing Arts (NCPA) has initiated with the aim of diversifying  its education programme.

The concerts are being organised in collaboration with the department of culture. 

Both Mr Ghiani and Ms Boniface are instructors at the NCPA and they were willing and excited to hold this first concert.

Antoine Souris, the head of music programme at the NCPA, said the turnout for this first concert was beyond their expectation and they are really satisfied.

“It has been a great success and we are happy because it is important for music students to listen to music and see the instruments they are learning being played,” he stated.

This first concert, Mr Souris said, involved the piano and violin while the next one being planned will involve vocal and wind instruments and it is expected to take place on July 12.

Venue and ticket sales will be announced in due course.
