Violinist Samuel Cutajar and guitarist Kolja
Joseph Gibbs perform a repertoire including a mixture of established works for the duo, and also Maltese composers, one of who, Carlo Flamingo, deserves to see the light of day again.
Samuel graduated from the Royal Academy
of Music under the tuition of Profs. Philippe Honore, and is already establishing himself as an all-rounded, vibrant and characterful violinist. He was awarded an internship with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017 and
has since become a regular part-timer with
this same orchestra, touring in Europe in May 2022, performing in prestigious halls such as the Muzikverein, Berliner Philharmoniker and Smetana Hall. He has been a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra since 2020 and this will be his 4th consecutive time with the orchestra. He has also lead the Royal Academy’s orchestra. Samuel has worked with world class names, including Sir Simon Rattle, Antonio Pappano, Gianandrea Nosseda, Vasily Petrenko, Pekka Kuusisto and many more.
Kolja Joseph Gibbs is a German/Australian
classical guitarist who began his career in London in 2015 and has been active as a performer, arranger and teacher ever since. An active and ardent chamber musician, Kolja has performed with flautists, saxophonists, guitar duos/trios/quartets, most notably the Meridian Guitar Quartet, with whom he won the 2022 Carne Trust Chamber Competition.
