The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra will be treating an audience to a special late-night classical concert, the first of its kind in Malta, at the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta.

The event, 'Mozart at Midnight', is becoming popular overseas but is still novelty fort Malta.

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

The concept for such a late-night event stems from Mozart himself, who frequently organised and hosted concerts that went late into the night and helped build his lavish lifestyle reputation.

The concert will be seeking to recreate this setting, under the direction of principal conductor Brian Schembri and with the collaboration of hornist Jose García Gutiérrez, The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra 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 loved compositions.
