2025 marks the 15th year anniversary since the Malta Classics Association was established to support and encourage the study of Classics, Classical Culture and the ancient world in Malta. Over the past 15 years, academics, students, authors, teachers and colleagues of all backgrounds have come together to generously contribute to the MCA’s mission.

To celebrate this important milestone, the MCA i co-organising a concert entitled Veteribus Comitantibus (“Accompanied by the Ancients”) in collaboration with OperaUnleashed, a diverse coalition of singers who delve into the world of classical repertoire. Veteribus Comitantibus is an opportunity to examine our relationship with the ancients whose works we constantly read and study: “accompanied by the ancients” reflects on this relationship which becomes a conversation between the timeless texts and ourselves, informing and inspiring us in our projects today.

In Veteribus Comitantibus MCA and OperaUnleashed are bringing you a program of selected classical music and passages which illustrate this conversational process over the centuries. We therefore invite you to join us on Friday 30th May, at St Paul’s Pro-Cathedral in Valletta. Doors open at 6pm and we ask all attendees to be seated by 6:30pm. Tickets are €5 for registered members of the Malta Classics Association and €10 for members of the general public.
