The Chorus Urbanus joined forces with the Sheffield University Wind Orchestra and held two concerts, one at St Augustine's Church in Victoria (Gozo) on the 17th March 2008 and the other one at Bormla's Parish Church on 18th March 2008. These concerts were held on the initiative of Dr. Simon Mercieca, Head of the Mediterranean Institute, University of Malta. The Gozo concert was held in collaboration with the Gozo Cultural Council.

The concert opened with Copland's rousing Fanfare for the Common Man by the Orchestra followed by Overture for Harmonie Op.24 by Mendelssohn and Tim Jackson's Passacaglia. It was Chorus Urbanus' turn to take the limelight. The Choir performed a cappella four pieces with a deeply religious theme, taken from the Choir's repertoire of sacred music for the Holy Week. The Choir first interpreted John Galea's sublime O Salutaris Hostia followed by Vexilla Regis. The next piece featured Yvonne Galea. solo soprano accompanied a cappella by the Choir for the John Galea's Crux Fidelis. Improperia featuring Noel Galea, solo bass, accompanied by the Choir was the last piece performed by the Chorus Urbanus which was under the musical direction of Mro. John Galea.

Hymn to the Fallen, by John Williams saw the Choir and Orchestra combine to give an excellent performance of this sublime musical composition which was written for the epic movie, Saving Private Ryan. The blend of voices and orchestra was highly appreciated by the numerous audiences that attended both concerts.

The Orchestra performed a couple of other pieces, namely Time Remembered by Philip Sparke and the Forest of Arden by George Lloyd. In Bormla, members of the Sheffield University Wind Orchestra performed a number of solo vocal pieces accompanied by the same orchestra.

Present among the audience were President Emeritus Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, the Italian Ambassador and various other distinct guests who all had words of praise for the high quality of the concert as a whole, but also to the professional quality of the Chorus Urbanus who were impeccable throughout their performance.

At the end of the concerts, the two musical directors exchanged cd recordings of their groups as mementos for this successful joint project.
