maltatoday WEDNESDAY 28 MARCH 2018 17 Events Oxford's Lincoln College choir to give recital at Our Lady of Victories THE Choir of Lincoln College, Oxford, will be giving a cho- ral recital entitled 'Darkness to Light' at the Church of Our Lady of Victories, Valletta on Tuesday 10th April at 7.30 p.m organised by Din l-Art Helwa in collaboration with Maestro di Cappella Hamish Dusta- gheer and Monsignor Victor Zammit McKeon, Pro Rector of St John's Co-Cathedral. The programme, specially chosen to express the transi- tion between Lent and the glory of the Resurrection, will also feature the newly-restored 18C Positivo Organ of the church and includes excerpts from Bruckner - Christus Fac- tus est, Bairstow - Let all Mor- tal Flesh, Gibbons - Almighty and Everlasting God, Mon- teverdi - Adoramus te Chris- te, Tye - Gloria (from Missa Euge Bone), Taverner - Dum Transisset, Paulus - The Road Home, Macmillan - O Radiant Dawn. The Choir of Lincoln College holds a reputation as one of the finest mixed-voice chapel choirs at the University of Oxford. Containing between 16 and 18 members, the choir gives talented singers the op- portunity to make music in an intimate setting at a de- tailed and high level. During term time, the choir's modest commitment includes a week- ly Sunday evening song and Wednesday evening rehearsal, with the occasional addition- al service for major church and college feast days. This allows the choir to pur- sue exciting concert and tour- ing schedules outside of the busy university term time. Reservations are possible with a donation of €20 per per- son to Din l-Art Helwa, 133 Melita St, Valletta VLT 1123, or through the website din- larthelwa.org/donations, or di- rectly from the Church of Our Lady of Victories, Valletta. For more information please email admin@dinlarthelwa.org. Any proceeds are dedicated to Din l-Art Helwa's restoration pro- gramme for the church. Zlatan Ibrahimovic joins Bethard BETHARD.COM has an- nounced a very important step in their ambition to cre- ate Europe's leading sports betting brand. Swedish soc- cer icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has decided to join forces with the Bethard team to help them enable their vi- sion. He will not only be an active ambassador for the brand, but also engage in the on-going development of the company's offering. "This move marks the start- ing signal for us. We have taken a bold decision to start building a next generation sports betting brand and we are of course super ex- cited to welcome Zlatan on- board. What better compan- ion could we possibly have on this journey?", said Erik Skarp, co-founder and CEO of Bethard Group. "Through the agreement we will not only have an out- standing brand ambassador, but also a very engaged co- owner who I know will push us relentlessly forward." Bethard.com operates out of Malta and is currently li- censed in Malta and in the UK. As part of an aggressive growth plan, the company is actively seeking licences in a number of European mar- kets and expects to be pre- sent through own licences in most key European markets already by 2020. The part- nership with Zlatan starts as of now and will evolve over the coming years. "I have obviously been in- tensively courted by betting companies throughout my career, but up until now I have not been presented to anything that has triggered me," said Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "With Bethard, there was something different. It's a company with Swedish roots, the founders are from my home town and they are true challengers who really wants to do things differently". Masquerade Ball raises €5,400 for VSM Malta OVER 300 people attended the Fund Raising Masquer- ade Ball organised by TBWA\ ANG in collaboration with Ladies Circle Malta (LCM) in support of Victim Support Malta (VSM); the NGO that empowers and regenerates victims of crime to a healthy and self-sufficient state of wellbeing.

Fiorella Ellul, TBWA\ ANG General Manager, to- gether with Maria Messina, president of Ladies Circle Malta and other members of LCM presented a cheque of €5,400 to Krista Tabone, Director of Victim Support Malta. "The support of all of our sponsors, the dedication of our team and the devoted members of Ladies Circle Malta is what made this event such a success," Ellul said. "Corporate social responsi- bility is at the core of TBWA\ ANG's daily operations. We are deeply committed to VSM's initiatives and feel for- tunate to be able to make such a considerable contribution. " "If we can make even a small difference towards the qual- ity of life of victims of crime within our community then our hard work will have been worthwhile," Messina said. "At Ladies Circle, we are dedi- cated to helping others and supporting projects that seek to help those in need." Tabone said the core prin- ciple of Victim Support Mal- ta was to be able to provide emotional and legal support to regular people who experi- ence extraordinary events. "I would like to thank TB- WA\ANG and Ladies Circle Malta for their hard work resulting in such a generous contribution." @ maltatoday ...let's get social!
