concert
From Meditation to Celebration
Wed, 2 December 2026 19:00 Church of St Anthony of Padua Free admission
Performers: Susana Lastra (organ)
Part of the Malta International Organ Festival 2026
Susana Lastra plays the festival's only Gozo date, moving from reflection to celebration and using the contrasts of mood the organ handles so well. The recital takes place in the church of St Anthony of Padua in Għajnsielem, a short ferry crossing from Malta.
About the venue
Church of St Anthony of Padua, Għajnsielem
Għajnsielem's parish church stands on the road climbing out of Mġarr harbour, the gateway to Gozo. Its interior is hung with large devotional paintings around a gilded high altar. This is the festival's one Gozo evening, and the crossing is part of the outing: the ferry from Ċirkewwa takes about 25 minutes.
