The Minister for National Heritage, the Arts, and Local Government, Owen Bonnici, has launched the 2024/2025 season of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO).
The program includes over 60 concerts, featuring major performances such as Beethoven’s Ninth, Verdi’s Requiem, and the Foundation Day Concert with the MPO and the Youth Orchestra. There will also be Chamber Concerts, a children’s series titled Do-Re-Mi, collaborations with KorMalta, performances by both local and international soloists, and participation in the Spoleto Festival.
Minister Bonnici highlighted that the upcoming season offers a varied program and prestigious collaborations, showcasing the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra's commitment to growing and strengthening the cultural identity of the country. He also emphasized that this is an invitation to all Maltese people to come and enjoy these unique and high-quality musical events.
“As a government, we are proud to continue supporting the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, which has long made a significant contribution to our country's musical culture. The MPO’s commitment to artistic excellence stands out not only in Malta but also internationally,” concluded Minister Bonnici.
CEO Vanessa Mangion noted that September always marks the beginning of a new season, and it is the duty of this leading musical institution to participate in national events and offer concerts to the Maltese audience, with a focus on classical music but not limited to it.
“Our orchestra is versatile and capable of excelling in both top-tier symphony concerts and modern music events. The program we've prepared for this season is as interesting as it is versatile. With this program, we will demonstrate the high level of our performances and our forward-looking vision of internationalism for the Orchestra. We have foreign soloists and conductors coming to perform and lead the Orchestra. This is coupled with opportunities for our musicians to perform abroad,” Mangion stated.
The MPO also has a youth division, the Malta Youth Orchestra, which represents the future of Maltese musical talent and cultural heritage. Comprising enthusiastic young musicians, the orchestra serves as a dynamic platform for artistic development and encourages a deep appreciation of both classical and contemporary music among the youth. Through rigorous training, diverse opportunities, and a passion for creativity and excellence, the Youth Orchestra continues to evolve, ensuring the preservation and growth of the cultural legacy for years to come.
