Rockestra, the concert that takes pop, rock and classical music and spins them on their tails to create an entertaining evening for all, is being held today.
The event is organised by the Malta Community Chest Fund with the aim of raising funds for those in need. It is performed by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) under the musical direction of MPO chairman Sigmund Mifsud and artistic direction by Pawlu Borg Bonaci.
Year after year the programme sees popular rock classics performed by some of the finest local artists, including Frank Calleja, Chris Grech, Raquela Dalli Gonzi, Matthew James Borg, Kenneth Calleja, Joe Roscoe and Mikaela Attard. There will also be performances by Relikc, the Animae Gospel Choir and the Stagecoach Choir.
Rockestra is being held today at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali at 8pm. More details and information about the event may be viewed at www.facebook. com/RockestraMT.
