A pair of E/T/C London’s Christie Roadster HD18K’s delivered high power video projection throughout a special two-hour ‘Rockestra’ concert in Malta recently. The show was the result of E/T/C London’s Ross Ashton being asked by the President of Malta, George Abela, to create a high profile fundraising event for the Malta Community Chest charity.
President Abela is the patron of the charity, the largest on the island … and with an enthusiastic audience of 12,000 packing into the Malta Conference and Convention Centre (MFCC), this was the largest ever indoor event to date on the island.
Ross Ashton has a past history of spectacular work in Malta, and for this they wanted some high impact additional visual production dynamics. The concert, under the music direction of Sigmund Mifsud included specially orchestrated versions of rock classics by Queen, the Beach Boys, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple etc., plus instrumental pieces performed by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. Also appearing onstage were several local artists including rockers The Riffs, Pawlu Borg Bonaci, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Jotham Saliba of Scream Daisy and more.
Says Ashton, “It was a great honour to be asked back to Malta to work on this show – I mean I couldn’t really say ‘no’ to the President! With so many musical genres and eras encompassed in the concert, it was also a really exciting and fun challenge to produce the two hours worth of projection artwork.”
