Following the success of previous editions, APS Bank will present Gioachino Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle on Tuesday 31 March 2026 at the Divine Mercy Sanctuary, San Pawl tat-Tarġa, Naxxar. Building on last year’s performance of Mozart’s Requiem in D minor, this year’s Holy Week concert continues the Bank’s tradition of bringing sacred masterpieces to local audiences.
Organised in collaboration with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Michael Laus, the concert will feature soprano Gillian Zammit, alto Claire Massa, tenor Alan Sciberras, bass Andrew Louis Cassar, together with The New Choral Singers. Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle blends sacred reflection with operatic warmth, with its expressive contrasts and unmistakable Rossinian style offering a fitting musical experience during Holy Week and a moment for shared reflection.
Liana DeBattista, Chief Strategy Officer at APS Bank, commented: “Our Holy Week concert has become an important date in the Bank’s cultural calendar. Following last year’s performance, we are pleased to present Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle on 31 March. Organising events like this form part of our ongoing commitment to culture and community, particularly during significant moments such as Holy Week.”
Tickets for the APS Bank Holy Week Concert are available here.
