On Friday 5 July the BBC Concert Orchestra will return to Malta. This is the fifth time that this concert is being staged in our country and this year’s theme is ‘The Iconic Queens of Soul’, where the public is expected to hear music from renowned singers such as Tina Turner , Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin.
The BBC Orchestra Concert will be made up of 70 musicians and 6 singers. This same concert will also be heard on BBC Radio 2, a radio that experiences an average of 14.2 million followers every day.
These details were announced in a news conference addressed by the Minister for Tourism and Public Cleanliness Clayton Bartolo and the CEO of the Malta Tourism Authority Carlo Micallef in the presence of Jason Carter and Anthony Cherry in the name of the organizers of this concert.
Minister Clayton Bartolo pointed out how this concert is another opportunity through which we continue to see a higher quality in the tourist product that our country offers. “We are looking forward to seeing the return of this high level concert back in Malta. Over the years this same event has grown in its prominence among the Maltese and even the tourists who come to visit us during the summer. Our commitment will remain based on offering a diversified tourist product throughout the year,” repeated Minister Bartolo.
The Chief Executive Carlo Micallef added that the support of the Malta Tourism Authority is of great importance so that as a country we continue to enjoy the strong visibility that this concert offers for the Maltese islands, in a way special in British markets.
