SOLD OUT – Schubert’s Piano Sonatas by Francis Camilleri

THIS CONCERT IS NOW SOLD OUT!

In a special concert this Valentine’s Day, pianist Francis Camilleri performs Schubert’s Piano Sonatas in an intimate recital at the Malta Society of Arts. This concert shines a light on three lesser-performed Schubert sonatas:

• A major D. 664,
• A minor D. 784, and
• G major D. 894

The concert will emphasise these sonatas’ connection to Beethoven’s legacy and their profound emotional depth.

Known for his thoughtful interpretation and sensitivity, Camilleri invites the audience on a musical journey.

With limited seating, early booking is recommended for this special evening of music.

This event is organised by the Valletta Cultural Agency.
