One of the Schola Cantorum Jubilate's customs is to hold a meeting for the choristers and their families. This year's meeting started with a mass at St. Augustine's Church in Victoria which was officiated by Rev. Fr. Joseph Bajada. Later some refreshments were served and all had the chance to socialise and talk together. Parents of new members had the opportunity to meet for the first time with the rest of group. Like all the other functions the choir is responsible of, this get-together is important for it strengthens the sense of familiarity and collegiality that really exists on personal basis and which is later shown in the output produced in singing. The highlight of the talking was the forthcoming concert 'Crucifixus' for which the choir is busily rehearsing. This concert will be held within a month.
Almost since the choir’s inception a website was created so that this Gozitan choir could connect and communicate with the whole world. The website being re-launched today is the third one in the twelve year history of the choir. The new website – designed and developed by Simboy Solutions – features a new fresh look and makes use of latest web technology in order to enhance and improve the overall user experience.
Considered as one of 'tempi forti' for the Catholic Church, the Lenten Period inspired various artists and masterpieces depicting the Passion and Resurrection of Christ can be found around the world in the major museums and churches. Such inspiration captured also the harmony within composers and the most meditative pieces in the musical heritage are those related to the Lenten Period.
Today, all members of Schola Cantorum Jubilate would like to express their sincere greetings to the Choir Director Marouska Attard on her birthday. Dear Marouska, this day did not only bring joy to your family but also to us choir members.
Social encounters are important to strengthen the bond in groups. Schola Cantorum Jubilate strongly believes that apart from regular rehearsals and performances, it has to leave space for more quality time together.
