Philharmonic orchestra reaches out in Qawra, Senglea and Birkirkara

Later this month, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) conducted by Christopher Muscat will be performing three concerts at different Maltese localities as part of a newly established “community outreach programme”.

The concerts will be held on the 16th June, 2010 at the Francis of Assisi Church, Qawra, on the 17th June at the Church of Our Lady of Victories, Senglea and on the 18th June at St Helena Parish Church, Birkirkara. 

The chosen repertoire is a varied one which includes a number of short and well-known works by composers such as Bach, Mozart and Mendelessohn alongside compositions by Maltese composers Joseph Vella and Paolino Vassallo. This makes these concerts ideal for families, young people and newcomers to classical music who will have the opportunity to experience the beauty of a live orchestral performance in a context which may be more familiar to them than the concert hall.

Conductor Christopher Muscat’s expertise in the field of sacred music promises an exciting evening of sacred orchestral music. Besides his experience as conductor, Muscat is also an accomplished composer with his music being regularly performed in Europe .

The performances start at 19.30 hrs and entry will be free of charge.
