On Tuesday 5th April the Gaulitanus Choir hosted a group of 5 teachers from the Rezekne Music Secondary School of Janis Ivanovs, Latvia for an information meeting. Co-ordinated by Ex.Act Malta, the Latvian teachers visited Malta to learn about the local musical and educational scenes and made it a point to visit Gozo to meet officials from the choir to get to know more about the way the Gaulitanus Choir and its Gaulitana: A Festival of Music operate.
The session was held at the Sentinella, courtesy of Cultural Heritage Director, Mr John Xuereb, who also opened the session by giving an overview of Gozo’s cultural heritage and of the way his directorate currently oversees cultural events.
The Gaulitanus Choir’s founder-director Mro Colin Attard, assisted by choir president Joseph Calleja, then gave a very broad picture of the choir’s history, how it developed and how it operates, outlining its various endeavours, including Gaulitana: A Festival of Music and its international touring – which coincidentally also saw the choir performing in Latvia in 2019.
Swiss journalist and Gaulitanus Choir friend Gabriele Spiller rounded up the event by sharing her perspective of a foreign cultural connoisseur who has been based in Gozo for some time and extensively following local cultural events.
The teachers were then given the opportunity to sightsee around Gozo.
