A concert by St Joseph Band, under the direction of Frankie Debono, assisted by Anthony Galea, was held in front of the club’s premises last Tuesday on the occasion of the feast of Our Lady of Loreto, which is being celebrated today in Għajnsielem.

The band performed various classical works, including Nutcracker and Nachtmusik by Tchaikovsky and Mozart, Blue Danube by Strauss and Puccini’s Nessun Dorma. The band also played a rhapsody by Sunny Galea, a selection of popular songs by Elton John and John Lennon and theme songs from the movies Skyfall and La Vita è Bella.

The band has received funds through a government scheme for musical training of youths, which was used to buy new instruments.

Club president Gino Cauchi presented the instruments to three promising youth members of the band – Elisa Marie Cordina, Yana Vella and Joseph Mizzi.
