A guitar recital featuring acclaimed Italian guitarist Fabio Barbagallo, will conclude the Gaulitanus Choir´s 2017-18 artistic season.
Sicilian-born Barbagallo is among the Italian guitarist of his generation most active on the international scene, having performed worldwide – whether throughout all Europe, North and South America, or the Far East.
He is also a composer with works published and recorded for Milan´s Edizione Musicali Sinfonica. He is also the founder and artistic director of the Solarino International Guitar Festival.
The varied programme for his recital in Gozo will include work from Renaissance composer Pietro Paulo Borrono da Milano, Baroque Czech master John Anton Logy, Romantic virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, contemporary Jazz-influenced French composer Thierry Tisserand and very well-known Argentinian Maximo Diego Pujol. To add some more spice, some Sicilian folk dances will also be played.
The evening recital is organised in collaboration with the Associazione Amici della Musica and the Solarino International Guitar Festival, and artistically directed by Gaulitanus Choir founder-director Colin Attard.
The recital is being held on Friday, the 13th of July, starting at 8pm at the medieval St Cecilia Chapel, Ghajnsielem, courtesy of Wirt Ghawdex. Entrance to the concert is free of charge.
