Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Knisja tal-Vitorja

19 Jun 2025

Description

The Our Lady of Victory Church in Valletta, the first church and building completed in the city, carries with it centuries of history and gratitude. Commissioned by Grand Master Jean Parisot de Valette in 1566 as a thanksgiving offering after the Great Siege of Malta, its walls have stood as a tribute to both faith and resilience.  Today, the church echoes with the sighs of anticipation as people gather for a baroque concert beneath its grand arches. Amid the summer heat, the faint buzz of fans offers a quiet counterpoint to the sacred stillness, blending with the whispers and soft steps of concertgoers. As the space fills with the energy of the present moment, the church’s rich historical legacy lingers in the background, awaiting the first notes of the performance to lift the air.  This recording immerses us in a moment where the rich history of the space resonates alongside the growing anticipation of a new musical experience, creating a dynamic atmosphere in this timeless setting. Recorded by Serge Bulat.
