 Accordionist Pamela Zahra took part in the Sanremo Junior contest for young singers and musicians, held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta, on April 5th, an event televised live on the Maltese channel TVM.There were six instrumentalists, selected from an original entry of 60, and the judges declared the six to be all of about equal ability and performance. Pamela acquitted herself very well, performing ‘Espana Cani’ (Spanish Gipsy Dance), by Pascual Marquina, transcribed for accordion by Gerald Crossman, but the winner was judged to be Laetitia Amodio, a pianist. A positive feature of Pamela’s participation is that she raised the profile of the accordion on national television to an audience of several millions in Malta, and many enquires were received afterwards about our favourite instrument. Pamela Zahra is taught by Marthese Busuttil Cassar L.B.C.A., and is a member of the Santa Maria Accordion Band. On May 7th Pamela will take the BCA Grade 7 practical examination. Laetitia Amodio and other winners of the Malta contest will take part in the Sanremo international finals, held at the Teatro Ariston, San Remo, Italy, from May 7th to 10th. |
