Conceived and founded in 2005 by its artistic director Karl Fiorini, The Malta Spring Festival is an annual classical and contemporary music festival known for its innovative programming and commitment to new orchestral and chamber works. The festival takes place in different venues in Valletta, capital city of Malta with this year’s theme being: A Radiant Future.
Exploring the repertoire from the classicists to the current day, to rarely performed or hitherto unheard in Malta, the programming takes the audience on a journey of cultural, psychological and personal discovery. The Malta Spring Festival takes pride in carefully selecting an ambitious roster of artists and on placing a premium on challenge, innovation and class, showcasing the new with the not-so-old in unexpected juxtapositions of programming. Running parallel to the evening concerts and recitals, an education strand of the Malta Spring Festival - The Rising Stars Concert Series - welcomes up-and-coming local artists to hone their skills on the larger stage, encouraging them to think and compare less regionally, with the aim of providing these young artists in-the-making the necessary springboard to pursue their musical education beyond the shores of Malta.
Through the creation of the a String Academy, the festival truly celebrates its educational strand and has opened a free programme for string players focusing on solo and chamber music masterclasses with various industry professionals as tutors. This culminates in the Malta Spring Festival Closing Concert under the direction of Mro Brian Schembri featuring world renowned violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky.
Featuring 5 carefully curated concerts, all with a fantastic lineup of musicians, the Malta Spring Festival presents a diversified programme of genres with a profound collection of artistic expression.
