‘Intermezzo for Strings’ will be held as part of these festivities, featuring a string orchestra under the musical direction of Pierre Louis Attard.

Notable pieces will include Mozart’s ‘Divertimento in Bb’, K. 137 and Rossini’s ‘Sonata for Strings No. 3’ in C Major, among others.

‘Intermezzo for Strings’ will be held this Sunday, the 19th of October at St Augustine’s Church in Victoria, Gozo, starting at 7.30pm and entrance is free.
