maltatoday | SUNDAY • 3 JANUARY 2021 4 CULTURE THE golden voice of Tatiana Lisnic joins the melodic notes of harpist Britt Arend in a concert of Lieder in French, German and Russian by Fau- re, Lizst, Strauss and Rachmaninoff amongst others. The concert will take place on Satur- day 23 January at 8pm. From as early as the 12th century AD, the German word 'lied' is used to refer to a polyphony which brings together poetry and classical music. English speakers refer to it as 'art song', a genre which flourished in the Romantic era. Much like alchemy, the sum of the individual components re- sults in a magical sound. Limited tickets are available at €5. Beethoven at Home The illustrious musician, pianist and conductor Brian Schembri is playing a Beethoven masterpiece, the Ham- merklavier sonata, in the Valletta Cul- tural Agency's Beethoven at Home project. This sold out performance is the final in a series of three and will be held on Thursday 14 January at 7pm.
