A New Year’s toast

The Gaulitanus Choir’s programme of events for the festive season reaches a high note on January 1 2019, when once more it will musically usher in the New Year with the 7th edition of A New Year’s Toast. This will be held at the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, Gozo, on New Year’s Day at 19.30 hrs. Entrance for the event – which is supported by the Kempinski Hotel, Bank of Valletta and Playpen – is free.

As always the chosen programme presents a festive musical repertoire intended to set a positive mood for the year’s start and to offer an ideal way to celebrate the New Year with oomph in a relaxed environment. Hence, bouncy Christmassy numbers and a boisterous Mary Poppins Medley will alternate with some inter- esting British part-songs and a few semifolkloristic Maltese excerpts, which make a definitely not-to-miss, exciting and spicy evening…also with a few surprises! A New Year’s Toast will very prominently feature the Gaulitanus Choir and its soloists, with the choir’s artistic-musical director Colin Attard conducting.

A repeat performance of the concert will be held at the Russian Centre for Science and Culture, Valetta courtesy of the director of the RCSC Andrey Muraviev, on Friday 11 January 2019 at 7pm.

Coming back-to-back with the choir’s very recent and successful three foreign concert-tours, this annual fare also rounds up the Gaulitanus Choir’s first phase of its 2018-2019 season.
