The ‘Jewel in the Mediterranean’, Malta is home to a vibrant culture that has been influenced by the many invaders that have conquered the islands throughout the centuries. Ensembles who take a school music tour to Malta will love the diverse performance opportunities here, whether it is a music festival, a recital in an historic church or in the midst of a lively square.
With over seven millennia of history to discover, Malta has, quite rightly, been described as an ‘open-air museum’. The country is famous for its megaliths, medieval towers and some of the oldest known human structures in the world. This lovely Mediterranean beauty exudes a majestic tranquillity which belies centuries of invasions that saw the islands come under the control of the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, Normans, Aragonese, Knights Hospitalier, Napoleon and the British, before finally achieving independence in 1964.

We had a really wonderful few days and thoroughly enjoyed singing in the venues selected. The highlight of the trip was the Last Post Ceremony and the Menin Gate. We were asked to sing a an additional piece of music which meant that they could hold an extended version of the Ceremony.– Excelsis Choir
