DAY 1
The Gaulitanus Choir´s day in Paris en route to Corsica was highlighted by a courtesy visit to the HE Helga Mizzi, Malta´s Ambassador to France at the Embassy. Of course, the choir also honoured HE by a musical rendition of a Maltese excerpt. The day continued by touring around Paris and then travelling to Bastia in the evening.
DAY 2
The Gaulitanus Choir´s first full day in Corsica was spent at Cervione. Two educational sessions at the College Phillipe Pescetti in the afternoon were followed by a full-scale concert at the Sala delle Feste. A standing ovation was received.
DAY 3
The day was reserved to rehearsing for tomorrow´s Theatre Municipal for tomorrow´s concluding Gala Concert. Sightseeing and sumptuous food was also the order of the day!
DAY 4
Part 1: General rehearsals at the Theatre Municipal, Bastia, organised sightseeing tours & sumptuous food! Looking forward to do Malta proud on the big night.
Part 2: Concert de Gala in a packed Theatre Municipal in Bastia. Gaulitanus had its own slot, as all other participants, and then sang in the climactic finale accompanied by the festival orchestra. We did Malta proud … and received an invitation to return next year.
DAY 5
Waking up savouring our success at the Rencontres´ final night and reading the Corse Matin´s review re our events at Cervioni last Thursday. As Corsica and France ceremoniously celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of WWI on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the Gaulitanus Choir commences its return journey to Gozo. A la prochaine!
