Festival

Since its launch in 2013, the Valletta Baroque Festival has treated audiences to a unique event featuring some of the best soloists and ensembles in the baroque music scene. Spanning over three weeks, the festival offers a quintessential experience of all that is Baroque as it takes place in exquisite venues such as St John's Co-Cathedral, The Verdala Palace, Palazzo Parisio, and Teatru Manoel to name a few. These venues are authentic Baroque spaces adorned with lavish decor, sculptures and paintings that are typical of this period. 

Organised by Festivals Malta every January, under the artistic direction of Kenneth Żammit Tabona, the festival highlights the enormous versatility of the baroque idiom and its mass appeal. Above all the festival's strength lies in the wonderful baroque settings that one finds in Valletta and the Maltese archipelago.
