Maestro fails to show up for last performance
mainA concert by the National Philharmonic of Malta was thrown into chaos when the music director, Brian Schembri, failed to show up either for rehearsals or for the concert, the last of the present season.
Schembri is in dispute over a new contract, apparently.
An unnamed deputy conducted.
Malta longs to be taken seriously as a hub of European culture. Incidents like these do it no favours.
