Home to beautiful music

Palace Concerts presents a year-long programme of cultural entertainment across the historic Corinthia Palace — from the neoclassical grandeur of Villa Corinthia to the enchanting Secret Garden, nostalgic poolside setting and supper-club energy of the Corinthia Ballroom. Thoughtfully curated performances by leading Maltese and international musicians promise a remarkable season of chamber music, solo recitals and themed concerts, perfectly complemented by the fine gastronomy of Chef Francesco Mazzei.

Villa Corinthia

A lyrical and uplifting piano recital by Francis Camilleri

The piano has a remarkable ability to hold both intimacy and grandeur within a single instrument. In this summer recital, Francis Camilleri brings together a selection of works that highlight the piano’s expressive depth — music that sings, dances, reflects, and uplifts.

Known for his sensitivity, clarity of touch, and thoughtful musicianship, Francis offers an evening of beautiful piano classics that speak directly to the heart. Whether through the elegance of the Classical era, the poetry of the Romantics, or the quiet introspection of later works, this recital invites listeners into a world of warmth and refinement.

Set within the serene atmosphere of Villa Corinthia, this concert promises a gentle, enriching musical experience — the perfect way to spend a summer evening.

Price per person € 75 - includes piano performance, followed by a standing reception in Villa Corinthia, with a curated selection of food and refreshments included.
