As a former long-time student of artist and musician Chev. Mro Pawlu Grech, one teaching of his that I prize above all others is that contradiction is the fundamental principle of all art.
Pawlu Grech passed away on February 10. The timing and circumstances of this event present at least three contradictions, all coincidental but significant, nonetheless.
The first contradiction is that his death happened just 10 days shy of his 83rd birthday. The second is that it occurred in the recurrence of the national feast of his biblical namesake, whereas Pawlu, though by no means an atheist, was profoundly and viscerally averse to the idea and practice of organised religion.
Pawlu Grech, a musician, artist and teacher, died in his sleep on Wednesday at Casa Antonia, Balzan.
He was 82 years old.
Grech leaves to mourn his loss his partner Amanda Tabone and numerous students who were tutored by him in both music and art.
Grech was born in 1938 and was proficient in both the visual and musical fields.
At 16 years of age, he was awarded a scholarship to study at the Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome. His association with the great 20th century Italian composers Luciano Berio and Luigi Dallapiccola and the memorable meeting with Igor Stravinsky were key in his formation as a young composer.

Erickson’s proven relationship-oriented customer experience was upended last March when COVID-19 bore down in full force. The company had to scramble to translate the intimacy of on-site visits, in-person group events, and shared lunches into a virtual experience that not only fully represented what its communities had to offer, but also engaged potential customers, many not overly digital savvy, in ways that were both comfortable and compelling.
