Gozo’s Gaulitanus Choir will once again be very busy this festive season with a varied programme of events taking it right through to the New Year.
Th choir said that its commitments commence on Saturday, the 14th of December at the Munxar Christmas Market where the choir will be in attendance from 7.30pm to 9.00pm.
Two very informal carolling sessions follow at the Arkadia Commercial Centre, on Sunday, 15th between 5.30pm to 7.30pm and again on Sunday the 22nd between 10.00am and midday.
On Christmas Eve, the choir will be in attendance at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, where they will welcome the Holy Night with a selection of carols in the hotel’s lounge from 7.00pm until 7.45pm. Some refreshments will also be served.
The Gaulitanus Choir and the Gaulitanus Orchestral Ensemble will then give a concert at the Xaghra Basilica on Saturday 28th December. The grand concert, organised by the Xaghra Local Council, starts at 7.30pm and will feature the choir and orchestra in a variety of Christmas numbers.
The choir then rounds up its commitments for this festive season on New Year’s Day by presenting its annual – A New Year’s Toast.
Now in its 8th edition, this is again being held at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz and commences at 7.30pm.
The concert musically ushers in the New Year in style with a musical bonanza fittingly featuring a mix of Christmassy, operatic and other lively and bouncy repertoire, presented by the choir, its soloists and friends. This will also be the first event celebrating the choir’s 30th anniversary.
The Gaulitanus Choir said that all these events, for which entrance is free on a first-come-first-served basis, will be under the musical and artistic direction of the choir’s founder-director Colin Attard.
