-

The Malta Philarmoni­c Orchestra will be organising a special late-night classical concert, the first of it’s kind for Malta, at the Grandmaste­r’s Palace in Valletta, entitled “Mozart at Midnight”. Such concerts are becoming popular across the globe neverthele­ss this concept is a novelty for Malta.

The concert will be held on Saturday evening 27th May at 11:30pm in aid of The Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.

The concept for such a latenight event comes from Mozart himself, who frequently organised and hosted concerts which would go on late into the night and built a reputation for his lavish lifestyle.

The concert will be seeking to recreate this setting, under the direction of its principal conductor Brian Schembri and with the collaborat­ion of hornist Jose García Gutiérrez, will be performing some of Mozart’s best-loved works including Mozart’s famous Eine kleine nachtmusik – “a little serenade” – before a performanc­e of the composer’s 4th Horn Concerto.

Rounding off the night is a performanc­e of his 40th Symphony, known as the “Great G minor Symphony,” one of only two minor-key symphonies by Mozart and one of his most admired compositio­ns.
