The stories covered in this weeks issue are:

1. The Astra Theatre was recently the venue of a most enjoyable evening featuring a cluster of popular soundtracks from various films and musicals issued over the past 50 years.

Well known compositions from the great movie circle, such as: Titanic, The Godfather, Last of the Mohicans, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Beauty and the Beast, The Mission, Schindler’s List, The Lion King, The Mask of Zorro and Ben-Hur were played to perfection by a group of musicians from the La Stella Philharmonic Band, ably directed for the very first time by the young and energetic conductor George Apap, clarinetist and music teacher within the La Stella Philharmonic Society. A first-timer for a local band were selections from Hans Zimmer’s "The Da Vinci Code" nominated for the 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. Some of the musical numbers were also enhanced with a splendid display of choreography, presented by Natalie Sciortino’s Centre Stage Dance Academy.

2. The Gozo College Rabat Primary School organized a fun day. It was a short break after the half yearly examinations. The children had a go on the bouncing castle and were given a healthy pizza. Kikku, Eco Gozo’s mascot, visited the school. Kikku, besides meeting all pupils, gave each a keychain.

3. The Cantoria of the Abbots Bromley School for Girls performed a Sacred Choral Recital at St George’s Basilica. The choir interpreted some of the all-time favourites under the direction of Colin Walker.

4. Steven J. Camilleri visited the Sir M.A. Refalo Centre for Further Studies in Victoria to present a copy of his book "The Key to Revival?". to the School Library. He also had the opportunity to meet students to speak to them about his novel and experiences. Steven J. Camilleri was born in New York but has lived in Gozo since he was six.
