Ever since its inception in 2002, The Gozo Youth Wind Band & Orchestra, consisting of two separate groups of young and promising musicians, have been entertaining the general public with a wide range of stylistic repertoire to the enjoyment of all age-groups.

Hailing from all over Gozo (and enriched with proficient guest musicians including foreign residents residing on the island), these young musicians meet regularly to prepare a wide spectrum of musical genre to be performed in various high-calibre events held from time to time in Gozo and Malta.

Mro Dr Joseph Grech explained that “the whole concept behind this project, besides creating the opportunity to young talented musicians perform in the collective manner, is to create a new approach to concert performances by nearly-similar ensembles and strives to explore new/innovative aspects of presenting its performances.”

This event is being held in collaboration with the Ministry for Gozo, the American Embassy, Arts Council Malta, Cultural Heritage Directorate within the Ministry for Gozo, The General Soft Drinks, Duke Boutique Hotel, Karkanja and MTA.
