'A New Year's Toast', under the musical and artistic direction of the choir's founder-director Colin Attard, will feature the Gaulitanus Choir, its soloists and an instru- mental ensemble in a vi- vacious, wide and varied repertoire. Ranging from seasonal to very bouncy numbers, from classical to light and traditional excerpts, and from very well-known melodies to others which perhaps will mean a first hearing for a few, the chosen rep- ertoire is surely one for everyone's tastes and for all ages. Indeed, 'A New Year's Toast' promises to be yet again a musi- cal bonanza of vocal and instrumental numbers which ensure a most positive start to 2026. Entrance to 'A New Year's Toast', which is being supported by the MGP's Cultural Her- itage Directorate and Playpen, is free on a first- come-first-served basis and no reservations are required.
