Heard It Through the Grapevine 5

Rockestra 2011

 

For the second time I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Again, Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Again they sold out at 12,500 people. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta. It is also the event of the year were local artists can play to this size of incredibly enthusiastic crowd.

The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.

The local artists were:
