The 15th edition of the International Spring Orchestra Festival (ISOF) will be taking place next month.
Inspired by music from Germany labelled ‘Degenerate’ and banned by the Nazi authorities between 1933 and 1945, the ISOF will host seven concerts over five days in various locations, mainly in Valletta.
International guest artists – including some familiar faces on the local classical music scene – are flying in from all over Europe to join their Maltese counterparts.
“Despite the pandemic-imposed delay, the International Spring Orchestra Festival remains a highlight of Malta’s cultural calendar,” artistic director Karl Fiorini says.
“Year in and out, it attracts fresh blood in the form of music new to Malta that has been regarded for decades as ‘modern repertoire’.”
