About the project

This event will consist of a musical programme by Banda Sagra Familja in order to commemorate the 110th year anniversary from the foundation of the Orchestra San Giuseppe way back in 1914 by Mro. Lorenzo Gonzi. This will contain music composed by the said Mro. Gonzi together with other musical pieces. Extracts from the history book ‘Ta’ Fuq’, published last year by our organisation, will be read between musical pieces played by the band to provide an accurate historical background of what we will be commemorating through this event. This is due to the fact that these extracts will be about the foundation of said orchestra and also about our current band. The said orchestra was the first musical formation in Kalkara which led to the inception of our band, namely Banda Sagra Familja in 1987. Afterwards a reception will follow in our premises. This project will promote further the rich culture and history related not only to our organisation but also to our village. We also intend to promote further Maltese Feasts through this event, since from this year the Maltese Village feasts were considered as an intangible heritage from UNESCO, so by contributing to our cause you will also be contributing towards this same heritage.

Project Deliverables

We intend to deliver this programme by first of all engaging musical performers and even plan the music that will be used together with our musical directors. Since we will be using music dating back to the early 1900, there might be the need to digitalise said music sheets in order to preserve the old original ones. Then rehearsals for seasoned bandsmen and singers will also be conducted prior the days leading to the event. On the day we will set up a platform used by the musical performers, including sound, lightning systems and various instruments. During the event we will coordinate with those involved to ensure the smooth running of the event and after which those present are invited for a reception at our club’s main hall.

Project Beneficiaries

From this event, both young and old members of our organisation will surely benefit. First, they can enjoy themselves by listening to beautiful inspiring music but mainly they will benefit by learning more about the history of our village and our band club. The young members will surely get to know better the organisation by learning and appreciating the historical background provided throughout this event. They will also be encouraged to explore further the possibility of learning music within our organisation. This is intended to be achieved through the inspiring music selection intended for this event. For our old members, this will surely be a nostalgic event where some of them will surely go down memory lane way back to the foundation of Banda Sagra Familja in 1987. Thorugh this project we intend to contribute to the whole Kalkara community by promoting the rich heritage that Kalkara holds with the audience, which will surely be composed from people outside Kalkara as well.
