Enigma Variation

World-renowned violinist Clara-Jumi Kang joins the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra directed by Principal Conductor Sergey Smbatyan. Rhapsodic and virtuosic, this mesmerising work is a staple of the repertoire. Maltese pioneer composer Paolino Vassallo displays his patriotism with his riveting Malta Overture. The orchestra shines in Elgar’s sublime Enigma Variations. This series of 14 variations on an original enigmatic theme, each depicting close friends and family, transports the audience on a journey of emotions, from the exuberant Troyte to the beloved Nimrod. An exclusive Shuttle Service will be provided for patrons at a nominal fee of €2. The service will run from Vjal ir-Re Dwardu VII (near the Tritoni Fountain) to the Mediterranean Conference Centre departing between 6:30PM till 7.15PM. The return leg leaves at the end of the concert.
