The Gozo Youth Wind Band (GYWB) within the Gozo Youth Wind Band and Orchestra will be presenting an innovative and spectacular concert, its first ever in this type setting, namely – Stage and Proms on the Sea.
A large floating platform (pontoon) will serve as the stage to accommodate 60 musicians to present a full scale concert at Mgarr Harbour.
Apart from on-stage lighting that will enhance the evening, special submergible lighting features will also create visual effects in the picturesque main harbour of Gozo.
In order to offer something different to the public who will attend this outdoor musical evening, the band are proposing to bring to Gozo a colourful and audience-participating repertoire reminiscent of London West-End shows and evergreen masterpieces from the Proms.
The audience will be able to enjoy a variety of excerpts and medleys from musicals and classic encores performed in the BBC Proms Final Night held at The Royal Albert Hall.
The concert will feature singers – Sarah Bonnici and Joseph Refalo interpreting various roles.
Stage and Proms on the Sea, is taking place on Monday, the 31st of August, starting at 8.30pm. Entrance is free of charge (standing), however tickets will be available to purchase, in support of the Gozo Youth Wind Band and Orchestra, for the Premium VIP Designated Seated area, and the price will include a welcome drink, tris of pasta and dessert.
