Corinthia is opening a new cultural chapter for Malta with the launch of Palace Concerts, an elegant series of live performances set within the refined surroundings of Corinthia Palace Malta in Attard [1]. The concept, already established internationally through the acclaimed Astoria Concerts at Corinthia Brussels, now arrives where the Corinthia story first began − reimagined for a Maltese audience seeking immersive, cultural experiences [1].
The inaugural event, From Darkness to Light, is taking place at the Villa Corinthia, promising an evening where music, gastronomy and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony [1]. Curated by violinist Sarah Spiteri, the concert traces the passage from the solemnity of Lent to the radiance of Easter [1].
The programme unfolds in two thoughtful parts [1]. Part 1: Passion and Human Drama features a contemplative exploration of fragility, compassion and introspection, with works by Mozart, Bach, Elgar and Morricone [1]. Part II – Light, Hope and Easter Joy moves into a luminous progression of renewal and celebration, culminating in the triumphant Hallelujah from Handel's Messiah [1].
Audiences will experience some of the most beloved works in the classical and sacred repertoire − from the haunting beauty of Lacrimosa to the serenity of Bach's Air, and the emotional resonance of Morricone's iconic film scores [1]. A distinguished ensemble of Malta-based and international performers will take part, including a full string section, trumpet and a carefully selected vocal quartet across soprano, alto, tenor and bass [1].
Following the concert, guests will be treated to a 90-minute open bar and extensive cocktail reception, curated by celebrity chef Francesco Mazzei [1]. The event starts at 5pm with tickets priced at €75, which includes the evening reception and free-flowing Prosecco and wines [1].
