The Embassy organised a special concert at the world-renowned Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., which is the National Cul- tural Centre in the United States of America. The full-house event was attended by a varied audi- ence that included members of the Diplomatic Corps, representatives of the Mayor of the District of Co- lombia, officials from the State Department, Maltese citizens who came from across different States within the US and others. Maltese artists Davinia Pace, Pamela Cibrano, and Kristian Schembri as well as Aiveen Gallagher-Schem- bri were the main protagonists of this celebration. The programme constituted a myriad of musical art- istry ranging from Maltese composers to well-known opera pieces. The evening also included an original musical com- position celebrating Maltese elements and traditional poetry. The concert gave space for the Embassy to showcase original Maltese music through the performance of a medley of band marches and the use of the Maltese language, something which had never taken place within walls of the US National Cultural Centre. Ambassador Xuereb extends his heartfelt thanks to the Kennedy Center for offering the Embassy the platform to showcase Maltese talent for the very first time in history at such a location, as well as the artists who travelled to Washington, D.C. to share their tal- ent and passion for music and poetry.
