President's annual New Year Concert

The annual President's Ney Year Concert will once again be organised in aid of the Community Chest Fund.

This time the concert will be held on Sunday 5 January 2014, for the fifth consecutive year the concert in the magnificent Republic Hall of the Mediterranean Conference Centre. Organised by the President's Office together with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts, all ticket proceeds will go towards the Community Chest Fund.
 
Directed by Mro Michael Laus, principal conductor of Malta's national orchestra since 1991, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a programme based around excerpts from opera which will include international and local composers - Stephen Psaila and Charles Camilleri will be performed alongside Smetana and Verdi, Tchaikovsky and Saint Saens. At a time of year when we cast a retrospective look at our lives, the theme will be the passing of time. The televised concert will also broadcast a ballet choreographed by Johane Casabene.
