Coming up – A New Year’s Toast!

The Gaulitanus Choir’s yearly Yuletide appointment returns with the 13th edition of ‘A New Year’s Toast’.

The concert, which musically opens in style the New Year, is being held, as usual, on January 1 at 19:30hrs at the Kempinski San Lawrenz. One of the Gaulitanus’ major annual events, ‘A New Year’s Toast’ comes back-to-back with the choir’s very recent successful concert tour in Portugal, its 25^th foray abroad.

The choir and its soloists will team up with guest instrumental soloists and an instrumental ensemble to present a vivacious, wide and varied repertoire, indeed a musical bonanza of vocal and instrumental numbers for everyone’s tastes which ensures a most positive start to 2025 – which, coincidentally, also marks the choir’s 35^th year of music making! The event will be under the musical and artistic direction of the choir’s founder-director Colin Attard.

This festive concert will also be celebrating the legacy of the choir’s resident pianist, Stephen Attard – this being the first choir-organised event since his demise. His composition “Ninni…Buzz” will be amongst the excerpts being performed, as also a boisterous medley he had arranged together with his brother Colin.

Entrance to ‘A New Year’s Toast’, which is being supported by the MGP’s Cultural Heritage Directorate and Playpen, is free on a first-come-first-served basis and no reservations are required.
