Carmine Lauri and John Alley will be performing together in a recital ideal for a summer outdoor performance.
The violinist and pianist will be performing works by Brahms, Prokofiev, Gershwin, Sarasate and Wieniawski at the Palace courtyard on Friday.
Mr Lauri left Malta in 1988 to further his musical studies in London and is now a leading world soloist besides being co-leader of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Appearing as a soloist in presence of the Queen and other heads of state, he also leads and performs regularly with the World Orchestra for Peace under Valery Gergiev.
His two premiere performances of the Walton violin concerto with the Czech State Philharmonic Orchestra of Brno further enhanced his growing international reputation.
Mr Alley is the principal keyboard player of the London Symphony Orchestra and has played under composers and conductors like John Adams, Luciano Berio and Sir Colin Davis.
