The Gaulitanus Choir is concluding its Christmas commitments with A New Year’s Toast, its annual January 1 concert.
The fourth edition of the concert is being held at the Hotel Kempinski San Lawrenz and starts at 7.45pm.
This year’s programme has a particular theme: Singing for Peace. It’s being held on the World Day of Peace and in a world scenario where peace is very much threatened.
The Gaulitanus Choir is presenting a selection of Christmas carols and songs from various countries.
Christmas songs – whatever their origins – help unite one and all, despite differences in opinions and creed, conveying a frontier-less spirit of joy, peacefulness and fraternity.
The concert will also prominently feature the choir’s main soloists: sopranos Patricia Buttigieg, Stephanie Portelli and Annabelle Zammit, and mezzo-soprano Marthese Borg.
Tenor Josef Xuereb and bass Ian Grech will have supporting parts.
The choir will be accompanied by its resident pianist, Stephen Attard, and conducted by its founder-director, Colin Attard, who is also its artistic director.
Entrance is free.
