His Excellency Joseph Cole, Ambassador of Malta and his spouse Bernardina Cole invited fellow diplomats, officials, members of the Maltese community in the Netherlands and other honourable guests to a duo concert and a reception on 9 December 2016.
After a short introduction by Ambassador Cole, the Duo Concert started. The performing artist were the talented violinist Nadine Galea and harpist Cecilia Sultana De Maria. Both musicians are graduates of the Royal College of Music in London, and have performed all over Europe.
During the concert the artists played music from several European composers such as J.S. Back, C. Saint-Saëns and B. Bartók and works of Maltese composers. Most of played pieces were not originally written for a violin and harp combination, but Sultana de Maria and Galea made it sound like the compositions were written for the violin and harp combination.
After the concert the Ambassador invited the guest for a reception, where diplomats, officials and members of the Dutch-Maltese community were are able to meet, while enjoying food and drinks.
