A free of charge Music Exchange Camp is being organised for Maltese and Gozitan singers and composers aged 16 and over.

This first-time initiative, organised by Public Broadcasting Service, will consist of two components: collaborative music workshops where Maltese producers will work together with foreign producers and Maltese singers, as well as a series of lectures by professionals, both local and foreign, including those from Universal Music.

“Local producers and Maltese songwriters will have the opportunity to meet, collaborate, and work with internationally renowned songwriters, to share our Maltese culture, new ideas, and create stronger networking between them,” Minister for the National Heritage, the Arts, and Local Government Owen Bonnici said.

It is expected that by the end of the week, a group of musicians and singers will have created around 18 song demos through this project.

The artists will have the choice of whether to submit their song for the MESC 2024 or not.

It was explained that applications for MESC 2024 will open soon and be open to everyone. Although, it is not mandatory for individuals who participate in this music camp to apply for MESC.

In addition to this, the general public, including singers and music producers, will have the opportunity to participate in various discussions that will be held throughout the week with international music professionals.

The aim of these activities is to provide Maltese people interested in this field with more knowledge about the best practices for showcasing their talents to the international community and to provide networking opportunities with foreign professionals.

Lessons will be open to the general public who are interested in the music writing or singing industries.
