Carlo Muscat Trio (featuring Oliver Degabriele & Joseph Camilleri)
Artistic Director and Project Designer Karl Fiorini
Malta’s finest musicians will be joining forces to celebrate the Malta Society of Arts’ 100 years at Palazzo de La Salle with a series of monthly concerts and masterclasses, curated by Karl Fiorini.
Compositions from the MSA’s music archive and music by past composers affiliated with the MSA will be brought to life by Christine Zerafa, Dominic Galea, Charlene Farrugia, Carlo Muscat, Philip Attard, Gabi Sultana, Joseph Camilleri (il-Bibi) and many more. In addition, this Maltese musical cultural heritage will be flanked by commissioned compositions by contemporary composers.
This sixth concert in the series will feature a group formed by some of the most active musicians on the local scene who have worked together in various situations over many years, this concert will showcase original music by the local saxophonist and composer Carlo Muscat, with a repertoire of new pieces written specifically for this line-up, as well as some older tunes that have been re-arranged to create a coherent style and mood throughout the entire set.
The compositions derive inspiration from various styles of jazz, from swing to Latin and contemporary, defining the composer’s search for a personal sound that can only be achieved through the kind of musical exploration. Each and every piece is a snapshot of this eternal journey.
