MYO Swings
Description:
The Malta Youth Orchestra presents another new concept for this year’s season of concerts. MPO Principal Percussionist Daniel Cauchi leads the youths with an added line up of saxophones and a rhythm section into the fascinating and sensual world of standard swing numbers featuring the best of singers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett amongst others. Guest artists for the evening will be trumpet player Alex Bezzina, Studio 18, and singers Andi and Elisa Valente.
Swing, which developed in the early 1930s and became a distinctive style by 1940 is usually associated more with big bands with a strong rhythm section and leads on brass, saxophones and clarinets. Nowadays, arrangements for whole orchestras have become the norm, and the style has been elevated to the concert platform.
So put on your dancing shoes, and be prepared to swing the night away with the Malta Youth Orchestra.
MYO swings is proudly presented by Fondazzjoni Celebrazzjonijiet Nazzjonali.
Tickets at €5 will be available from St James Cavalier.
