The Gaulitanus Choir kicked off their Christmas commitments with a concert at the Arkadia’s Function Room in Victoria, Gozo on Friday 12th December at 7.00pm.
During this concert the choir was accompanied as usual by its pianist Stephen Attard and conducted by its founder-director Colin Attard.
The choir presented a varied number of Christmas works, some of which also
feature in the CD “Gaulitanus at Christmas” that the choir launched during this same evening.
