Recommended age: 16+

On a balmy summer night as the breeze gently caresses your body, immerse yourself in sounds inspired by passion. Music by Morricone, Satie, Bizet and others, will fuse with the evocative words of contemporary Maltese poets and the immortality of Neruda, Verlaine and Rimbaud. From the romantic to the sensual, the concert intertwines the cycle of sexual response with musical and literary repertoire that seduced the gods and entangled lovers. 

About The Festival

By popular demand, the APS Summer Festival presents an additional 4 weeks of cultural activities staged along the Valletta Waterfront. Held alfresco under the stars, with historic fortifications and the sea as a backdrop, the evocative venue offers a unique location for re-introducing live events in Malta. 

Featuring an eclectic choice of styles, artists include Big Band Brothers, Comedy Knights, Ray Calleja, Clare Ghigo, Alex Bezzina & Band, Red Electrick, Nadine Axisa, Studio 18 and musicians of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra together with emerging local talent and the Malta Youth Orchestra. These Live Music Weekends are complemented with outdoor cinema nights, dance, comedy and poetry acts. 

The APS Summer Festival is produced by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and the Valletta Cruise Port and supported by the Malta Tourism Authority, StudioSeven, Embassy Cinemas and Island Insurance Brokers.
