Several local artists will also get the spotlight they deserve with The Rock Troupers with a Baroque, The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and The Monteverdi Project directed by Marco Mencoboni, as well as the Valletta Baroque Ensemble and KorMalta in Handel’s iconic Messiah conducted by Christian Curnyn, taking part in the festival.
