The St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation is pleased to announce the formation of a children’s choir for young singers aged between 8 and 15 years which will represent the Foundation both locally and abroad in international festivals and competitions.
The choir will be trained by leading soprano Gillian Zammit and sessions will include classes in vocal technique, choral singing, history of music, theory and sight-singing which will aim to give the choristers an all-round musical experience. Apart from vocal ability and musical aptitude, an important requirement to forming part of this choir is full commitment to the project.
