'Virtually a Cappella' series on TVM

The Gaulitana: A Festival of Music’s virtual series ‘Virtually a Cappella’ is being aired on the national television station TVM in the last two weeks of July. This highly-successful 4-part virtual series of short instrumental recitals featuring Maltese and Gozitan solo musicians performing in small sacred spaces in Gozo had made up the first phase of the hybrid 14^th edition of the festival. The series had premiered on the festival’s digital platforms in May and June, with a leitmotif being the performance of Maltese compositions in each recital.

The first two recitals, featuring harpist Caroline Calleja in ‘Caprice’ and violinist Pierre Louis Attard in ‘Fantasia’ respectively, will be broadcasted on Monday 19^th and Tuesday 20^th July respectively.  The other two recitals, featuring cellist Simon Abdilla Joslin in ‘Arabesque’ and saxophonist Philip Attard in ‘Concertante’, will be transmitted the week after, namely on Monday 26^th and Tuesday 27^th July respectively. All recitals will be aired at 18.55hrs.
