Spanish Classical Guitar Concert

Our Lady of Victory church, Valletta will host once again the popular lunchtime concert organised by Barocco Events in collaboration with Din l-Art Ħelwa.  During this concert which takes place on Tuesday 14 March 2023 at 12:30pm, the talented classical guitarist Bernard Catania will be giving a recital where one can enjoy and admire the ability of this artist at adapting to a wide range of techniques and styles from Spanish, Latin-American and contemporary classical guitar music.

 

During this concert, Catania will perform vibrant guitar works by Isaac Albeniz, Federico Mompou, Francisco Terrega, Stanley Myers, Astor Piazzolla and Leo Brouwer amongst others. Amid his most exciting pieces, there are Song of the Seas by local composer Gordon Mizzi, Un Dia De Noviembre and Asturias, two splendid, thrilling Spanish pieces which evoke a thousand emotions of Latin-American passion and sensations.

 

The Church of Our Lady of Victory, with its painted ceiling by baroque artist Alessio Erardi, is the first church of Valletta. Built by Grand Master de Valette and the Order of St John after their victory in the Great Siege of 1565, it has been restored by Din l-Art Ħelwa, voluntary National Trust of Malta.

After the concert, patrons are invited for free to the cellar of the church to watch a short audio visual show about the building, history and the restoration of this gem.
