Through this initiative, Alexandra Camilleri Gambin will participate in an eight-day workshop in Helsinki leading to a performance at the Europa Cantat Festival in Tallinn under the direction of Maria van Nieukerken and Mikko Sidoroff.
Earlier this year, auditions for the World Youth Choir and EuroChoir 2018 were held at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta in collaboration with Arts Council Malta and the European Choral Association, represented by and on the initiative of Dr Joseph Lia.
This project aims to promote European choral music among young singers and to encourage cultural exchange within Europe. Participants in these choirs are selected by artistic merit. No Maltese representative was selected for the World Youth Choir.
