The Malta International Organ Festival returns for its 13th edition, inviting music lovers to experience extraordinary performances in some of Malta and Gozo’s most beautiful historic churches.
Across 13 concerts, international organists and Maltese musicians explore the remarkable sound of the pipe organ, from intimate solo recitals to inventive collaborations with saxophone, trumpet and euphonium, culminating in a spectacular orchestral finale.
Running from 19 November to 7 December, the festival combines classical music with architectural and cultural discovery. Eight concerts offer free admission, while five ticketed performances are available from €15 or €20, before booking fees.
For visitors and residents alike, it is an opportunity to discover the islands through music.

Before You Book
What is free, what is ticketed, and where the tickets actually come from.
Five concerts are ticketed
Opening Concert, French Impressions, The Trumpet Shall Sound, Sacred Echoes, Romantic Visions and the Grand Finale require a paid ticket. Prices are €15 or €20 before booking fees (€0.90 on a €15 ticket and €1.20 on a €20 ticket at the time of writing; the ticketing provider sets these and may change them).
Eight concerts are free
The remaining eight performances are free to attend, including the Gozo recital in Għajnsielem and the lunchtime community concert at Mosta Rotunda. No ticket is required through MaltaGuide, and no MaltaGuide checkout exists for this festival.
Booking runs through official channels only
Ticketed concerts are sold through TicketLine. Each concert page links to that performance’s own TicketLine page, so you book the specific night rather than a general festival pass. The Teatru Manoel event page carries the festival listing.
Every concert is in a different church
The 13 dates move between Valletta, St Julian’s, Gudja, Cospicua, Rabat, Marsaxlokk, Mosta and Għajnsielem on Gozo. Check the venue and start time on the individual concert before you travel, particularly for the Gozo date.
Times are local Maltese time
Start times are given in Malta’s November and December time (UTC+01:00). Evening concerts begin between 18:30 and 20:30; the Mosta community concert begins at 12:00.
