The series Music & More at the Jesuits continues at the Oratory of the Immacolata, adjacent to the Jesuit church in Valletta. The recently restored oratory will host more exciting free events.

The first event will be on Wednesday, December 7, at 7.30pm, with Vivat Xaverius - The Jesuits in 17th Century Valletta by musicologist Anna Borg Cardona. The lecture will trace the rich history of the Jesuits in Valletta, with particular emphasis on music and public celebrations.

This will be followed by a recital of classical Christmas music by soprano Dorothy Baldacchino and pianist Irina Fedcenko on Thursday, December 22, at 7.30pm. The programme will not only feature beautiful Christmas music from the classical canon, but also rarely performed piano pieces by the Lithuanian composer Dvarionas.
