Deborah Cassar wins Golden Cross in Macedonia
(18th November 2004)

Deborah Cassar was able to continue establishing herself as a promising singer. Recently she represented Malta at the Asterisks International Singing Festival held in Macedonia. The Ghajnsielem born 14 year old, participated by the song “One day at a time”, written and composed by herself. The festival was held on two-day basis, with 22 participants each session. Deborah presented her song on Friday, where she classified 4th to make it to the finals. During the final session on Sunday she gave an excellent interpretation and was awarded a diploma and declared Princess of the Festival.

The first experience at international level can also be considered as the threshold for the young singing talent from Gozo. On her arrival back home, she soon got another invitation from Spain to participate at another youth festival there. Serious consideration is being given to such an opportunity. Only scholastic duties can hold her back from participation.

In Macedonia, Deborah was accompanied by her mother Flavia, and a group of friends, which group was lead by Mr. Anthony Grech, Executive Director of the Golden Cross International Singing Festival.
