Following three sold-out concerts in September, the MPO 22/23 Concert Season ensues with a number of events in the coming weeks.

For its next symphonic concert, the MPO (Malta Philharmonic Orchestra) performs in Rachmaninoff 2 on November 19 at Teatru Astra. The evening features the composer's dramatic Symphony No. 2, a poignant and deeply evocative work quintessentially late Romantic in emotion and lyricism. Renowned cellist Camille Thomas joins to interpret Elgar's Cello Concerto, his last completed masterpiece and one of the most popular in the instrument's repertoire.

On November 26, the MPO returns to its music hub, Robert Samut Hall for a chamber concert of twentieth century music under the baton of Resident Conductor Michael Laus entitled Of Gothic Hymns.
