- **Event Name**: 20th Malta Spring Festival | Opening Concert
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: The festival opens with a bold celebration of the saxophone. Philip Glass’s hypnotic Saxophone Quartet unfolds in four contrasting movements—lyrical, rhythmically charged, intimate, and exuberant—showcasing the instrument’s extraordinary colour and vitality.

Ignacy Zalewski’s mono no aware, a special festival commission and world premiere, oﬀers a fragile, haunting meditation on loss, where delicate motifs and suspended harmonies linger like fading memories.

David Maslanka’s deeply spiritual Recitation Book draws on sacred chorales and Renaissance echoes, weaving a powerful five-movement journey of reflection and renewal.

Performed by Malta’s leading Melika Saxophone Quartet, renowned for their dynamic artistry and festival
appearances, this opening night promises intensity, beauty, and immersive sound worlds.
