Malta Philharmonic Orchestra
Photographic campaign for the 2017-18 concert season of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.
Author: Massimo Denaro
Client: Malta Philharmonic Orchestra
INTRODUCTION
THE MALTA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
Founded in 1968, the Orchestra was formerly known as the Manoel Theatre Orchestra, and was an offspring of the chamber orchestra in the employment of the Commander-in-Chief of the British Navy (Malta). It became an independent body in 1997 when it was officially named the National Orchestra of Malta, and underwent its final transformation in 2008 when it was further extended and became known as the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra(MPO).
YEAR 2018
Valletta will be the European Capital of Culture in 2018. Moreover, 2018 will represent the 50th anniversary of the maltese orchestra and the 10th anniversary of the full-extended Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.
CONCEPT
4 ELEMENTS | 4 SEASONS
AIR
The wind is always hurling, like a swirling storm in the rocky coastlines of the maltese islands.
EARTH
Stones, bricks and cobbles of the maltese cultural and natural heritage.
WATER
From the sea water to the salt: here is the process leading to the maltese treasure.
FIRE
Music is a dancing fire which gives the light and the way, as a lighthouse for the lost souls.

Parco In Scena
PARCO IN SCENA – Stranizza d’amuri
[Public architecture design, 2016-under construction, Italy]
Project made together with arch. Donatella Incardona
Client: Municipality of Ragusa
Job: CONCEPT, DESIGN, 3D
PARCO IN SCENA – Stranizza d’amuri
Rehabilitation of the historic Villa Margherita urban park in Ragusa. This project includes an outdoor theater, a green path and a wood fence.
The outdoor stage ( 12 x 12 m) takes advantage of the existing steps, which are a perfect parterre; furthermore, the valley panorama turns into a natural backdrop. This stage will be the largest outdoor theater in Ragusa, perfect for shows during summer and spring seasons.
The shape of the wood fence is inspired by the waveform of the verse “Stranizza d’amuri”, included in the song “Stranizza d’Amuri“ by sicilian author Franco Battiato. Ideally, this fence is an immaginary connection between the “Vallone Santa Domenica” (Villa Margherita rests on this valley) and the “Vadduni da Scammacca” included in that poetic song.
Concretely, this fence is a sound shield, in order to cut the stage off from the car park and from the garden path. Moreover, it could be used as a wall/frame for exhibitions and/or as a notice board.
The green path will connect the two sides of the park, so everyone could sit down in the shade of the trees or enjoy the valley panorama.
