World War I in Music ( … and Words) presented by the Gaulitanus Choir to commemorate the 100th anniversary since the beginning of World War I.
The concert will present several musical excerpts which were composed during the years of the Great War (1914-18) and which were very much associated with the war.
Ranging from the classical to the semi-classical, and from marches to waltzes, the various excerpts were composed by British or American composers – by great names such as Edward Elgar or Irving Berlin, or lesser-known names such as Alfred Solman and Gertrude Ross. Some excerpts are still extremely popular, others – due to various circumstances – forgotten.
The concert, which is being artistically directed by Gaulitanus founder-director Colin Attard, will feature the Gaulitanus Choir and a number of its soloists, namely Terry Shaw, Marthese Borg, Annabelle Zammit, Stephanie Portelli Sultana, Patricia Buttigieg, Josianne Callus, and Francesca Sciberras together with reciter Rob Ricards. Colin Attard and Stephen Attard will accompany on the piano.
The Gozo Ministry Hall, St Francis Square, Victoria, is the venue for the concert, which is taking place this coming Saturday, the 22nd of November, starting at 7.30pm.
Entrance is free and everyone in invited to attend.
