Sigmund Mifsud is a Trumpeter, Musical Director, Arranger and Concert Producer from Malta.

Trumpeter

Sigmund Mifsud is a full-time member of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.

His career as performer includes performing as a session musician with various orchestras in musical production, television appearances and solo recitals. Sigmund also performed as a lead trumpeter with the Johann Strauss School of Music Big Band in three editions of the Malta Jazz Festival. He is the founder of the Sliema Youth Band.

Musical Director & Arranger

Sigmund’s aim to deliver various music concepts to a diverse audience led him to start experimenting with fusion of classical and pop music, first with the Kenya Fund Raising Concerts, where he amalgamated a string orchestra with a wind band.

In 2004, Sigmund produced the first edition of the National Orchestra Goes Pop but it was in the second edition in 2005 were he had been trusted with the role of musical director of the National Orchestra. This proved to be a successful formula and continued in the following two editions of the concert in 2006 and 2007. Arrangements and any adaptations of musical compositions for the national philharmonic orchestra had Sigmund’s signature.

In his career he has prepared arrangements for philharmonic orchestra, big band, combo band and light orchestra and for different styles of music ranging from pop, rock, folk and swing.

Sigmund also developed music arrangements and was appointed music consultant for the non-classical scores in the following two performances:
 

• Joseph Calleja, Dionne Warwick & Riccardo Cocciante - Conductor: Paul Bateman (29/07/2010)
• Joseph Calleja & Michael Bolton- Conductor: Paul Bateman (19/07/2009)
• Joseph Calleja, Lucio Dalla & Hayley Westenra (09/07/2011)

Sigmund’s latest remarkable work was definitely highlighted during the two editions of Rockestra, a concert unique in its concept for Malta, not only the National Philharmonic Orchestra engaged in playing rock music but the audience was standing creating a more of a show atmosphere.

Concert Producer

Sigmund’s experience in the music industry has also developed in an entrepreneurial manner. His first concert production was the first edition of the National Orchestra goes Pop in 2004; and the three editions that followed in 2005, 2006 and 2007. He co-produced the Manoel Theatre Swing Concert, Sigmund in a Classical Mood – Trumpet Recital, and the 2008 Earth Garden Arts & Music Festival Concert.

In 2010, he was producer for the Hilton Swings Concert and also the Movie Spectacular. Definitely another milestone was achieved in the production of the two editions of Rockestra, for which Sigmund was co-producer together with the Malta Community Chest Fund.

In 2011, he founded BLS Entertainment; an entertainment agency that aims to represent and respect talented and selected artistes; to provide the clients with high level productions that are an extraordinary experience for the audiences.
