With over 600 million records sold worldwide, before internet was even a word, The Beatles are considered to be one of the most influential rock bands in history so far. Testimony to this is the fact that still to this very day, Beatles songs are featured in radio playlists worldwide.
Let it Be, Yesterday, and Strawberry Fields Forever will be amongst the hits which will be performed by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Alan Chircop during the Symphonic Beatles concert which will be held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre on 17 and 18 February.
The concert is being organised by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra in collaboration with Fondazzjoni Qalb it-Tfal whose mission is that of assisting the Neonatal Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (NPICU) within the Mater Dei Hospital. All proceeds from the concert will therefore assist the Fondazzjoni Qalb it-Tfal further help the professionals at the NPICU through the purchase of specialised equipment or other needs.
The Symphonic Beatles is considered to be a top musical performance of its kind, and has already been performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The concert features orchestral arrangement by composer Wayne Grima and the participation of the Amadeus choir and the Malta National Children's Choir. A highlight will definitely be a special rendition of All You Need is Love, with the participation of various children hailing from different local schools.
