Malta Philharmonic Orchestra’s resident conductor Michael Laus brings the very successful MPO Concert Series at the Manoel Theatre to a close with an enticing programme of Stravinsky and Rachmaninov alongside Heitor Villa-Lobos’s colourful Fantasia for Soprano Saxophone and Orchestra on Friday.

Stravinsky’s Pulcinella, that opens the evening, is based on excerpts from operas by Pergolesi that marked the beginning of his neoclassical style.

Maltese saxophonist Christine Dimech will be the featured soloist in Fantasia for Soprano Sax and Orchestra, what is today the most popular piece for the soprano saxophone, highly acclaimed for its virtuosity and spirited writing.

Dimech is one of Malta’s leading saxophonists, equally at home with the classical and the jazz repertoire.

The concert starts at 7.30pm with a pre-concert talk at 6.45pm.

Tickets may be obtained by calling 2124 6389 or by sending an e-mail to bookings@teatrumanoel.com.mt.
