Composer and filmmaker Marcelle Abela has released two new concert works for piano, Rhapsody in C minor and Rhapsody in G# minor, marking her return to music releases following a four-month summer hiatus. The two rhapsodies continue Abela's intensely dramatic concert music style, combining restless momentum, strong contrasts, and a distinctly uncompromising emotional character. Rhapsody in C minor features pianist Maria Ricci, who also performs Rhapsody in G# minor, which follows as a second, closely related work with its own darker and more forceful trajectory. The releases also mark a renewed focus on Abela’s official Bandcamp catalogue, where both works are now exclusively available from the artist.
 Punch’s Journey has received an Award of Recognition from the 2026 Best Shorts Competition in California, marking the film's eighth consecutive award. Written, directed, and scored by Marcelle Abela, the animated short continues its international festival run with recognition across Europe, North America, and Asia. The latest honor extends Punch’s Journey’s uninterrupted 2026 awards streak in film festivals worldwide.
"An extremely entertaining and visually stunning film with exquisite and deeply moving music."
