Sounds at the heart of the Mediterranean, a joint project by EMMA for Peace in collaboration with UNHCR Malta, Foundation for Shelter and Support to Migrants, Junior Chamber International, Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and Malta Youth Orchestra in support of young refugees of the Mediterranean.
Musicians from the Youth Orchestra percussion section and young migrants, led by MPO principal percussionist Daniel Cauchi, came together for a powerful musical experience. This collaborative project came to fruition following a number of workshops where improvisation, collective lyric-writing and musical composition were the building blocks culminating in a public performance on 1st February 2014 at Robert Samut Hall in Floriana (Malta).
On 31st January 2014 at Teatru Manoel in Valletta (Malta), Malta Philharmonic Orchestra in collaboration with EMMA for Peace presented a solidarity concert of Italian Opera, featuring acclaimed Maltese soprano Miriam Cauchi under the direction of Greek conductor Michalis Economou.
