Chorus Urbanus in Concert - 19th May 2007 – 23.00 hrs

Franciscan Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Palm Street Victoria

Gozo  hosted its own version of the Notte Bianca and Notte Magica held last year in Valletta Malta. Cultural events in Gozo consisted of pre- and post-activities happening with a full weekend of events which kicked off on Friday 18 May and extendied up to Sunday 20. Lejlet Lapsi Notte Gozitana’s main events took place on Saturday 19 May, reaching a culmination during the Lapsi night well into the early hours of Sunday 20 May. The programme boasted a balanced mix of different art forms and genres that surely appealed to culture lovers and the general public of all ages. Art, music, dance and theatre were on the menu as much as history, traditions and heritage that are inherent in Gozo’s characteristic cultural identity. As one of the leading exponents of choral life in Gozo, the Chorus Urbanus had been invited to perform at the Franciscan Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Palm Street Victoria. The choral presentation started at 23.00 hrs and the choir was under the direction of Mro. John Galea. Full report will follow.

The Lejlet Lapsi programme has been extended to cover a whole weekend in a bid to further attract lengthier stays in both the foreign and domestic tourism markets to Gozo.
