In its bid to bring some festive cheer while adhering to COVID-19 regulations, Gozo’s Gaulitanus Choir recently presented Yuletide Bliss, a mini-series of three varied musical events between Christmas and the New Year.
The first event was held on December 27 at the Sannat parish church. Entitled Strings in Concert, the concert featured the Gaulitanus String Orchestra led by Marcelline Agius and conducted by Colin Attard. The programme included works by Mozart, Jenkins, Rowley, Beethoven and Morricone.
The second event, titled Folk-Inspired: A Violin-Piano Recital, was held on December 29 at the Kempinski San Lawrenz. It featured up-and-coming Gozitan violinist Pierre Louis Attard and Serbian-born pianist Milica Lawrence in a most atypical repertoire consisting of a number of catchy folk-inspired classical works from different countries, including from Malta’s own Alex Vella Gregory and Stephen Attard.
