Rock Classics of the 60’s and 70’s is coming to the Aurora Theatre in Gozo this October, featuring the Gozo Youth Orchestra.
On Friday, the 27th of October, starting at 8pm, for one night only, The Gozo Youth Orchestra, 7SPP, and, with the support of Festivals Malta, will present its latest collaboration.
“Rock Classics of the ’60s and ’70s” is their latest and most challenging rock orchestral production, in a series of outstanding rock orchestral events performed at the Aurora in Victoria.
The organisers said that “this can prove an added value event to those come over to Gozo for the Opera weekend at Astra. Our show is just in the middle of the Thursday and Saturday opera performances. So let loose your gala attire and come and have a great night of rock orchestral classics.”
The line-up will feature The Gozo Youth Orchestra under the direction of our Musical Director, Maestro Joseph Grech. They will once again be joined by Gozo’s Cash & Band, led by John ‘Cash’ Cassar.
Also appearing on the night, will be a hugely talented line up of local guest vocalists. Dorothy Bezzina, Sarah Bonnici, Kurt Cassar, Ludwig Galea, Neville Refalo, are among the best-known singers on the Maltese music scene. The backing vocals will be provided by The 7SPP Choir, under the direction of Dorothy Bezzina.
The challenge of performing, 24 classic numbers selected from the works of some of Rock music’s greatest legends, is an enormous but rewarding one.
“We look forward to that challenge and we hope we have found something to please all tastes,” the organisers said.
The show will feature classic numbers from legendary bands such as, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Procol Harlem, Deep Purple, Nazareth, The Animals, Pink Floyd, Boston and artists such as Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Elton John and David Bowie.
The scores for this show have once again been prepared by Mr. Daryl McKenzie, who will be coming all the way from Australia to enjoy his orchestrations and direct three numbers himself.
