The Manoel Theatre is presenting a St Cecilia’s Day Concert by the Valletta International Baroque Ensemble (VIBE) today in Rabat.
VIBE is the resident ensemble of the Valletta International Baroque Festival. It was born out of a cultural need for Malta to have its own ensemble specifically focused on the study and performances of baroque music, including a rich repertoire of Maltese baroque works.
The ensemble consists of predominantly Maltese musicians, guided by foreign baroque specialists.
VIBE seeks to perform music from the Renaissance and baroque periods in a historically informed way on original instruments.
The concert will feature music from the German baroque masters and will include excerpts from Handel, Biber, Bach and Telemann.
The concert, being held today at St Dominic’s church, Rabat, starts at 8pm. For tickets, log on to www.teatrumanoel.com.mt or call the booking office on 2124 6389.
