5 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 27 MAY 2018 THIS WEEK MUSIC On June 23 and 24 the Summer solstice at Mna- jdra will feature a concert by trombonist and music archaeologist John Kenny. The music for this unique concert will trace the evo- lution of the instrument by playing the seashell, a rep- lica of the Celtic war horn known as the "carnyx" up to the modern trombone. On August 11, the court- yard of Castello Lanzun in San Gwann will constitute the stage for a recital of trios for clarinet, violin and piano. On November 4, two days after All Souls' Day, the underground Zejtun par- ish crypt will host a concert of modern string quartets, decked in funereal para- phernalia of black damask and candles. And finally, the strong, theatrical presence of per- cussion instruments will become even more dramat- ic by the vaulted halls of the Citadel in Gozo on Novem- ber 27 for the grand finale. Tehillim – 20th Century Masterworks is organised by Teatru Manoel, the Malta Association for Contempo- rary Music and the Valletta 2018 Foundation as part of the culture programme of Valletta 2018 - European Capital of Culture. The concert will take place at the Manoel Theatre, Val- letta, on June 9 at 20:30. Bookings: www.teatruma- noel.com.mt Ruben Zahra: "The innovations of 20th century music bypassed Malta completely"
