Laura Falzon will perform during the CAMILLERI FESTIVAL with performances in London and Malta. (More details see Calendar)

The festival, a celebration of composer Charles Camilleri's (1932-2009) music takes place between the 14th and 17th of January. Laura's long term collaboration and friendship with Charles Camilleri resulted in many works written for her by the composer including Diaphainon and Interchangeable Galaxies for flute and piano , which she recorded on CD; solo flute works including Fractals (recorded on CD), Song of Olympus (published by Robertson), Desert Songs (published by Metropolis), Sonatina Rustica and Ritual Meditations; three works with orchestra including Espace Volante which she premiered with Spectrum Ensemble of London, the Flute Concerto and Divertimento for flute which is one of the works she will be performing during this Festival with conductor Brian Schembri, and other chamber works.

The Festival organiser and Artistic Director, Maria Blanco, said that the concept of the festival sprouted from a personal promise made to Charles Camilleri - that of ‘keeping his music alive’.
