Sarah Vella – Biography

Sarah Vella started piano lessons with Dr. Charlene Farrugia (LRAM) under whose tutorship she obtained her LLCM and LRSM Diplomas. She furthered her studies with Professor Michael Young at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama (RWCMD) where she was awarded a Master of Music in performance with distinction. Over the past few years, she was able to perform in Malta, the United Kingdom, Italy and Canada. Among others one may mention a voice and piano recital held as part of the International Spring Orchestra Festival in Malta; recitals held in Gloucestershire and Clevedon, a two piano recital at Oxford University; recitals held in Gubbio and most recently in Trevi, Italy.

She is currently pursuing her doctorate studies in piano performance at the Université de Montréal (UdeM, Canada) with Professor Jimmy Brière, with whom she also completed her Master’s degree. Over the course of her time at UdeM, she was the recipient of the Bourse Denis Angers, as well as the Bourse d’excellence highlighting her progress in her studies. She is endlessly grateful to the Joseph Calleja Foundation, the Janatha Stubbs foundation, the Malta Arts Scholarship and the Endeavour Scholarship Schemes which very kindly supported her studies in the UK and Canada.
