Over the Moon: A Piano Celebration of Film Music

By Julian Carter

The Malta Society of Arts presents pianist Julian Carter in a return performance of Over the Moon: A Piano Celebration of Film Music, following its successful premiere last December.

This solo piano recital brings together a varied selection of film songs and underscores, from well-known blockbusters to lesser-known classics from the history of cinema. All works are presented in original arrangements by the performer, reimagined specifically for the piano.

Over the Moon explores the expressive and narrative power of film music in an intimate concert setting, where audiences can relive their favourite musical pieces and also discover new ones.

Doors Open: 6:45pm
Concert Starts: 7pm
Concert Ends: 8:15pm (approximate)

Julian Carter Biography – Pianist

Maltese pianist Julian Carter is an emerging performer whose work bridges classical traditions with contemporary and cinematic music. Equally at home with core repertoire and his own arrangements, Julian’s artistic focus lies in adapting music for film, videogames, and other non-pianistic sources into engaging, virtuosic piano works. He began piano studies at the age of six, later earning the Licentiate Diploma in Pianoforte Performance from the London College of Music in 2011.

Julian has appeared at a number of Maltese venues, including the Malta Society of Arts and the Sala Isouard at Teatru Manoel, and in 2025 was awarded Third Prize in the Malta Cross Music Competition. He is currently furthering his musical studies at the University of Malta, with a focus on composition.

Alongside performance, Julian is developing original compositions for piano and small ensembles. His long-standing interest in animation and illustration continues to shape his creative outlook, informing both his musical storytelling and his developing work in audiovisual concepts.
