A mix of established and young musicians will accompany Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, better know as Il Volo, at their concert in Ta’ Qali next week.
A 34-piece orchestra will mainly consist of members of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra but 10 will come from the Malta Youth Orchestra. MPO chairman Sigmund Mifsud said the young musicians were selected after an audition and attending master classes.
There will be 23 string, 10 wind and one percussion instruments in the orchestra.
Fabrizio Crimi, chairman of Crimi Events, organisers of Il Volo concert in Malta said people with special needs would be able to attend free of charge but booking had to be made directly with MFCC.
