Bank sponsors Trade Fair celebrations

HSBC Bank Malta plc has agreed to a major sponsorship agreement with the Trade Fairs Corporation that will help the corporation cover the costs of a series of concerts celebrating its 50th anniversary.

The concerts include the staging of Carmina Burana at the Mediterranean Conference Centre this weekend and concerts taking place in September.

The main celebration will take place on September 6 and 7 when Julian Lloyd Webber will present A Night With Lloyd Webber, also at the Mediterranean Conference Centre. It will feature some of the best known music composed by Andrew Lloyd Weber from the renowned musicals Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Phantom of the Opera.

"The Trade Fairs Corporation wanted to celebrate a remarkable 50 years of success with something special. Mr Lloyd Webber's music appeals to everyone and I am certain that the concerts in September...will prove a great success," said Joseph Mifsud, president of the corporation.
