3Ts – a teatime concert with SCJ Soloists


by Stefan Attard

3ts posterSchola Cantorum Jubilate, in collaboration with the Malta Trust Foundation, presents 3Ts – Tea, Tunes, Togetherness! It promises to be a tuneful afternoon bringing people together for a freshly brewed cup of tea with special treats and different forms of art. Music, art, literature and the rural backdrop will join together for a good cause since all proceeds will go to the Malta Trust Foundation.

The Malta Trust Foundation, chaired by H.E. President Emeritus Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, is committed to sustainable solutions addressing poverty and vulnerability. Its work focuses on key areas such as disability, mental health and wellbeing, education (both formal and non-formal) and youth empowerment. The Foundation continually invests in resources to ensure tangible results.

SCJ Soloists – Marouska Attard, Hannah Tong, Bianca Simone and James Agius – will perform a jovial repertoire, filled with moments of soaring drama, ease and capriciousness. This is the first concert of a year-long celebration marking the 25th anniversary of SCJ. The programme includes pieces by Donizetti, Rossini, Bizet, Tosti, Head and the late Prof. Joe Vella. The concert will conclude with a special arrangement of local works by composer-in-residence Paul Portelli. Additionally, there will be readings of writings by Alda Merini, aimed at raising awareness about mental health and wellbeing in a diverse, overpopulated society.

Gozitan artists Vince Caruana, Paul Stellini, Chris Saliba, Maria Cassar and Jeremy Spiteri will enrich the event with exhibits from their studios, offering attendees the opportunity to acquire unique works of art.

3Ts will take place on Sunday 2nd February at 3.30pm at Ta’ Frenċ Courtyard. Entrance is by ticket only. Interested individuals are kindly asked to fill in the prebooking form and follow the instructions to purchase tickets, which cost €40 each.

JUBILATE


by Stefan Attard

Jubilate-Poster-WEBSchola Cantorum Jubilate warmly invites you to our highly anticipated Christmas concert, Jubilate. Experience an evening of music, joy, and reflection on Saturday 28th December at 19.30, within the magnificent Ta’ Pinu National Shrine.
Explore the realm of hope and joy through a repertoire of beloved carols and hidden gems. The SCJ Adults choir will bring these timeless notes to life, enhanced by modern effects and original literature embodying the wonder and warmth of the season.

“Our selection of music for this evening includes both the timeless and the new—familiar carols alongside fresh arrangements and new contemporary choral pieces that reflect the beauty and diversity of the Christmas Season. We hope that each note brings warmth to your heart and helps you experience the true meaning of Christmas: peace, joy, and goodwill toward all.”

- Marouska Attard, SCJ Conductor

Through the timeless power of the arts, we aim to foster conversance with life’s deeper meaning, experienced through the lens of Christmas values, and inspired by the Roman Catholic Church’s 2025 Jubilee:

“Fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart, and far-sighted vision”

- Pope Francis

We look forward to sharing a profound, musical evening with you. Join us and surrender to the true spirit of Christmas.  

Admission is free and no booking is required.  

Jubilate is being supported by the Directorate Cultural Heritage with the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.
