The festival moves to the Xaghra Basilica on Friday 18th, where the Armed Forces of Malta Band will give a concert at 19.30hrs. The AFM Band will indeed be participating in the festival for the second year running.
Under the direction of Cpt. Jonathan Borg, “A Military Band in a Basilica” will present a very varied repertoire, also with some sacred overtones. Works by Buxtehude, Gounod and Beethoven will alternate with more contemporary ones by Hanson, Ticheli, de Haan and Stevens. Maltese compositions by Freddie Mizzi, Peter Cini and Carmel Callus will also be performed. Some of the band’s soloists will also be featured.
The concert is being held in collaboration with the Xaghra Local Council and with the full cooperation of the Armed Forces of Malta, with the courtesy of Archpriest Mgr Carmelo Refalo.
