For the first time in its history, the Vilhena Philharmonic Band of Floriana will be executing a musical programme at the Manoel Theatre, Valletta. This programme titled 150 Anniversarju: Kunċert strumentali mill-Banda Vilhena is being held on the occasion of the 150th anniversary since the founding of the Philharmonic Band back in 1874. The venue for this programme is particularly meaningful because the Manoel Theatre is named after Grandmaster de Vilhena, the same grandmaster after whom the Philharmonic Band is named.

The programme shall be executed under the baton of the musical director of the Philharmonic Band, Mro George Debono, along with the bandsmen, the Amadeus Chamber choir and tenor Brian Cefai, with the presentation of George and Elisa Cassar.

The programme consists of a mixed variety of musical pieces from renowned classic composers and contemporary artists as well as pieces which belong solely to the Vilhena Philharmonic.

The concert will be held on Sunday, 22 September at 7pm.
