Completion of the restoration works on the façade of St Lawrence parish church in San Lawrenz was marked with a concert by theChorus Urbanus .

Funds for the restoration were obtained from the EU after a formal request by the church and San Lawrenz council two years ago.

The concert, under the direction of John Galea, featured the hymn dedicated to St Lawrence, F’Jum il-Mewt Tiegħek Lorenzo, composed by Joseph Formosa, Gloria by Vivaldi, Jesu Hominem Amator by J.S. Bach, Exultate by Viadana, Alma Dei Creatoris by Mozart, Lord’s Prayer by Malotte,How Beautiful are the Feet byHandel and Salve Regina by Lotti.

However, the highlight of the concert were excerpts from the oratorio Laurentius by John Galea.

A film feature highlighting the restoration project produced by CVC Productions was also shown.
