The St Joseph Band of Ghajnsielem held their annual concert this week in front of a large appreciative crowd. The band performed a selection of works from Verdi, Strauss and Tchaikovsky’s famous 1812 overture.

The concert took place in front of the band club’s premises which was also illuminated with different light effects to add to the atmosphere of the evening. Soprano Pamela Aguis wowed the crowd with her rendition of ‘Il Bacio’ and ‘Saper Vorreste.’ The concert concluded with the famous ‘Radetzky March’ synchronized with fireworks displayed from the roof of the band club’s premises.The highlight of the evening was the inauguration of the Musical Archive in the newly refurbished Committee Room of the St Joseph Band Club. This project took almost five years to complete and is an attraction in itself thanks to its beautifully crafted artistic wooden sculpture.

The mahogany unit contrasted with rich walnut sculptures will now host over eighty years of musical history of the band.
