On Wednesday 6 December 2017, the Malta Society of Arts awarded the Gold Medal 2017 to Charles Gatt in recognition for his contribution to the arts. The private presentation was held at the newly-renovated Concert Hall of Palazzo de La Salle, held under the patronage of H.E. Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, President of Malta. The Dominic Galea Jazz Trio, who were joined onstage by Charles Gatt himself, accompanied the ceremony with their live music, playing mostly Charles Gatt’s own compositions.
