This unique event combines an exhibition of historical garments of the Knights of Malta with a piano recital by prominent Greek pianist Konstantinos Destounis. A selection of garments from the National Textiles Collection entrusted to Heritage Malta will be exhibited in the Sala dei Cavalieri of the Malta Society of Arts. A video backdrop of artistic footage featuring the very same fabrics and textiles will run parallel to the music programme featuring works by Ligeti, Chopin, Liszt and Ravel. This event is a collaboration between the Malta International Arts Festival and Heritage Malta. The exhibition is curated by Annamaria Gatt (Curator of Costumes and Textiles) with the support of Claire Bonavia (Principal Conservator / Restorer – Textiles / Paper), Leyre Quevedo (Conservator Textiles) and Pierre Bonello (Manager Exhibitions).
