A sacred choral concert – Songs of Praise – with the The Gaulitanus Choir, is the next event in the ongoing “GauLive,” the final phase of the 14th edition of the Gaulitana: A Festival of Music. festival.

The repertoire for the evening will be made up of of a number of sacred excerpts in the English language. Ranging from British classics such as William H. Monk’s “Abide with me” and Stephen Adams’s “The Holy City,” to more contemporary American favourites such as Bob Dufford’s “Be Not Afraid” and Michael Joncas’s “On Eagle’s Wings,” the works being performed have been specifically arranged for the Gaulitanus Choir over the years – mostly by its founder-director Colin Attard, who will also be conducting the concert.

While several of the choir’s soloists will share the solo work involved, the choir will be accompanied by Stephen Attard and joined by violinist Pierre Louis Attard.

The concert, which is taking place at the Xaghra Basilica, on Saturday, the 2nd of October, starting at 8pm, is being held in collaboration with the Xaghra Local Council and the Catenian Association.

It will be in full compliance with current health protocols, entrance is free. Reservations can be made on bookings.gaulitana@gmail.com.
