Anthony Hart Writes:

The Valletta International Baroque Festival, established in 2013, marked a significant cultural revival for early-music performances in Malta. The festival, held in iconic baroque edifices like the Manoel Theatre (one of Europe's oldest working theatres) and St John's Co-Cathedral, demonstrated the feasibility and popularity of such events, with its first two iterations achieving resounding success. This initiative, spearheaded by local artist Kenneth Zammit Tabona, showcased the potential for preserving and promoting baroque music within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a model for integrating historical music traditions into contemporary cultural heritage conservation efforts.
