The wife of the Prime Minister, Dr Lydia Abela, launched another edition of the concert ‘A Night at the Palace’, which will take place on Wednesday, 12 July from 8:30pm onwards.
The concert filled with different musical pieces will be staged with the participation of the National Philharmonic Orchestra at the Girgenti Palace in the limits of Siġġiewi.
In a news conference at the Girgenti Palace, Lydia Abela explained how she, Prime Minister Robert Abela, and their daughter Giorgia Mae are looking forward to welcoming families to this concert with a noble cause behind it.
“The Girgenti Palace will open its doors for a wonderful evening where those who wish to attend need to collect a ticket free of charge and are invited to make a donation in aid of the organizations that work in the protection of animals”, claimed Dr. Abela.
The free tickets for this concert can be collected on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 July from the Berġa ta Kastilja (entrance from Triq San Pawl, the City) from 9am to 12pm.
Dr. Abela said that this concert will also serve as a show of appreciation for the people who work with animals including many volunteers. At the same news conference, the Acting Chief Executive of the National Philharmonic Orchestra Chris Muscat spoke, who explained how what the orchestra will present will offer variety including work by Maltese composers.
“It is a great pleasure for me that the musical selection also includes a tribute to Oreste Kirkop, on the centenary of his birth, and the composer Paolino Vassallo, on the centenary of his death: two great Maltese artists who have made a name for themselves and for our country on an international level”, claimed Chris Muscat and stressed that the orchestra is continuing to promote Maltese music.
Dr Lydia Abela concluded by saying that ‘A Night at the Palace’ should be a memorable evening that continues to expose the talent of the musicians and the beautiful values of the Maltese and the Gozitians.
