"The greatest touch of originality was provided by Jason Xuereb. A promising performer,
he did what Liszt would probably have done with a paraphrase of Puccini's

He performed it with great verve and sensitivity"

" His own SUNSET was a very evocative piece which he endowed with lot of expressive feeling. His own arrangement of Vangelis's CONQUEST OF PARADISE quite stole the show"

During this time he also showed strong inclinations towards composition and lyric writing. As a pianist and composer Jason has performed at various concerts and other events in Malta, including Society of Arts and Commerce debut concert in 1996, University of Malta, musical evenings at the Manoel theatre, and also concerts in Italy in 1997, and Manchester in 2004 and 2005.

He also studied counterpoint with Prof. Joseph Vella, harmony with Mro.Dion Buhagiar, and piano technique with Prof.Michael Laus. In summer of 2004 and 2005 Jason attended music courses at Chetham's School Of Music in Manchester, where he attended Masterclasses and received lessons in piano performance with British pianist Colin Stone and composition lessons with composer Ronald Stevenson.
