Our Mission

Through collaboration with Local Councils, parishes and other entities the St Paul Metropolitan Orchestra aims to promote cultural awareness through music by bringing performances of high calibre to the general public and making it more accessible to all, whilst giving upcoming musicians and singers the opportunity to work alongside their established and seasoned counterparts, providing them with a valuable experience in their journey of both musical and self-development.

Through its Performance Programme, the orchestra supports and promotes local composers through the performance of their works and encourages and facilitates upcoming musicians’ professional musical development by giving them the possibility to work side by side with experienced and established performers.

The Orchestra's Social Programme is aimed at supporting charitable institutions and entities through fundraising performances as well as taking the music to those who would otherwise not be able to enjoy the pleasure of a live performance.

By bringing these programmes together the SPMO works towards promoting Malta’s vision as a hub of cultural activity for all regions of the world and in particular for the Euro-Mediterranean region. Through on-going consultation and collaboration with music teachers and professionals, the orchestra seeks to address the critical needs and preferences of professional and amateur musicians and aid music performances, teaching, and learning, ensuring the implementation of the principles of inclusive education by providing an equitable access to all persons in full respect of any diversity and cultivating a culture of creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, excellence and flexibility sustained by the values of commitment, dedication and integrity.
