This year’s Malta Spring Festival is set to take place between 11-14 April and will include a series of evening concerts at different venues as well as a lunchtime concert series at the Malta Society of Arts

The idea behind this year’s Malta Spring Festival is based on Thomas More’s satirical fiction Utopia, or The Island of Nowhere published in Latin in 1516. A humanist, More (1478-1535) describes an imaginary city-state island society perfectly governed by ideals of equality and non-religious principles where institutions and rules are all reason based.

The opening concert, performed by Synchrony String Orchestra will take place at the Grand Salon National Museum of Archaeology.

Co-founded and led by Eulalie Charland, Synchrony, making a welcome return visit to the Malta Spring Festival, was born out of the recognition that women can create lasting, positive change when they work together. Premiere of a new string work by ‘super-cool’ British composer Flori Anna Maunders. 

The evening concerts are FREE for children 15 years and younger with a 50% discount for Students and Senior Citizens.

The lunchtime concerts kick off on 12 April at 12:30pm are held at the Malta Society of Arts. Entrance is free of charge.
