We have just attended the first concert of the season at the Manoel Theatre in Valletta,having returned to Malta on October 1. The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted by Brian Schembri, with Sergei Nakariakov as soloist playing trumpet and flugelhorn with a programme of Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Arban and Brahms.
It was a truly superb concertto start the season off with, inthe lovely surroundings of the Teatru Manoel.
The soloist was superlative. Thank you all.
My thanks also to Michelle Mangion of the box office for helping me book the tickets, after I failed to do so dismally online myself from the UK.
