To mark the 19th anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II, who died on 2 April 2005, the JP2 Cultural Foundation hosted a musical Easter concert in the Church of Perpetual Adoration of Savina, Victoria.
Students from the ‘Echo String Ensemble,’ under the direction of the couple Emese Toth and David Lang, played several pieces which were warmly received by the audience present.
The recital hosted music of famous composers including Antonio Vivaldi, P.I. Tchaikovsky, A. Komarowski, G.F. Handel, J.F. Mazas, F. Seitz, J. Clarke, L. Mason, G. Cassado and others.
Towards the end of the concert, the whole Ensemble played ‘Nearer my God to thee’ as well as ‘Triple Concerto in D minor 3rd Movement’ by Vivaldi, and the evening closed with ‘Alleluiah’ by George Frederic Handel.
