The ‘atypical’ 2021 edition of Gaulitana: A Festival of Music is being brought to an end this Saturday by symphonic concert featuring the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, the last in the ongoing “GauLive” series.
Conducted by Gaulitana artistic director, Colin Attard, the concert will be a, forcibly belated, commemoration of Beethoven 250th birth celebrations. Starting with the overture to “Egmont”, it continues with the grandiose Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”. Both works, often considered as quasi autobiographic depictions of the composer’s own life, present a musical journey full of struggles, tribulations, despair and ultimately triumph.
The Gaulitana artistic team considered this as a very pertinent tribute to all who have played their part during the past extremely challenging year and a half, and, not least, to “Gaulitana: A Festival of Music” itself, which, despite all odds and let downs, has heroically and stoically made sure of presenting a greatly varied and high-calibre hybrid programme of events throughout 2021.
