World-renowned violinist Clara-Jumi Kang joins the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Principal Conductor Sergey Smbatyan. Rhapsodic and virtuosic, this mesmerising work is a staple of the repertoire. Maltese pioneer composer Paolino Vassallo displays his patriotism with his riveting Malta Overture.

The orchestra shines in Elgar’s sublime Enigma Variations. This series of 14 variations on an original enigmatic theme, each depicting close friends and family, transports the audience on a journey of emotions, from the exuberant Troyte to the beloved Nimrod.
