October is celebrated as Opera Month in Gozo, a time dedicated to appreciating the vibrant and stirring art of opera. As part of this celebration, the fourth edition of Intermezzo for Strings will take place, featuring a string orchestra led by Marcelline Agius, under the musical direction of Pierre Louis Attard.

The concert will feature works by some of the most celebrated composers associated with the operatic tradition, including Mozart, Rossini, Puccini, Mascagni and Bizet.

The programme for the evening includes Mozart’s ever-popular Serenade No. 13 in G major, K. 525, better known as Eine kleine Nachtmusik, and Rossini’s lively String Sonata No. 1 in G major, among other works.

Intermezzo for Strings (4th Edition) will be held this coming Sunday, the 25th of October, starting at 7:30pm at St Francis Church in Victoria, Gozo.

Admission is free. The concert is presented in collaboration with the Ministry for Gozo.
