During the last weekend the Schola Cantorum Jubilate choristers and the direction of the choir, had the opportunity of spending some time together to enhance our team spirit through prayer, rehearsing and recreation.
After an introductory meeting on Friday evening we prayed the Via Crucis now that we are just a week away from Holy Week which is the most important week within the Catholic liturgical calendar.
Members of Schola Cantorum Jubilate gathered at the Basilica of Xagħra to give the last tribute to a special woman, Giuliana Attard.
Giuliana Attard happens to be the grandmother of the choir Director, Marouska Attard and choir leader Stefan Attard. Fifteen years ago, she opened her door for the choir’s rehearsals which she followed with passion and whenever it was possible she attended for the concerts. When she was unable to attend, she would later enjoy watching and listening to the concert which was filmed specifically for her.
Aptly scheduled during the Lenten period, the Schola Cantorum Jubilate join forces with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra to present one of the most subtle and fluid compositions based on the Gregorian chant, but personalized by the colours, harmonies, and rhythms of this deeply religious 20th-century musician.
“Christmas is not Christmas without any ... carols”, at least for us at Schola Cantorum Jubilate. For this reason we will be celebrating next Christmas by the event CAROLLING CHRISTMS to be held on Friday 27th December at San Lawrenz Parish Church at 7.30pm.
The end of this month (October) and the beginning of the next, will host around one thousand choristers from around Europe, from Russia, Indonesia, Israel and China. All these people share a common passion; that of singing and in fact they will participate in the International Choirs’ Festival.
