The “GauLive” series, part of the 15th edition of Gaulitana: A Festival of Music, comes to an end on Wednesday 30th March. Falling on the eve of a national day, the concert will be fittingly dedicated entirely to Maltese music.
Entitled “A Finale of Maltese Music”, it presents various works for string orchestra. These include works by Malta’s foremost composers of the last generation, namely Carmelo Pace, Charles Camilleri and Joseph Vella, as well as, amongst others, Colin Attard and Pierre Louis Attard. The latter will also be the soloist for the evening, interpreting Vella’s “Rapsodija Maltija” on the violin and premiering Colin Attard’s “Élégie Lyrique” – composed in memory of Joseph Vella – on the viola. Colin Attard himself, the Gaulitana artistic director, will conduct the Gaulitanus String Orchestra led by Reggie Clews.
The concert will be held at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz at 19.30hrs in compliance with health regulations. Entrance is free. Reservations for the concerts can be made on bookings.gaulitana@gmail.com.
