The post Visitor Notice: August Opening Hours appeared first on St John's Co-Cathedral.

Ever since it was established in 2001, following an agreement between the Government and the Catholic Church in Malta, the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation has been the guardian of unquestionably the greatest artistic treasures to be seen in the Maltese Islands. At the same time, it is entrusted with safeguarding St John’s Co-Cathedral as a sacred place of worship, preserving its spiritual character while ensuring that its rich artistic and cultural heritage is conserved to internationally accepted standards and remains accessible to the thousands of visitors who walk through its doors.

Professor Monsignor Agius’s leadership comes at a pivotal moment in the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to preserve and promote this national and sacred treasure. His experience and commitment will support the Foundation’s mission to manage the Co-Cathedral and its Museum with dedicated stewardship, maintaining its sacred character, enhancing its cultural and educational value, and securing the necessary resources for ongoing restoration and conservation.

Welcoming his appointment, Professor Monsignor Agius stated: “I accept this appointment with gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility. It is a privilege to serve once again as President of the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation and to contribute to its ongoing work. The year ahead brings important projects that will continue to strengthen the Co-Cathedral’s role as a sacred place of worship and a national cultural landmark. I look forward to working closely with the Council and staff in the year ahead.”

Professor Monsignor Emmanuel Agius is the former Dean of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Malta, where he studied philosophy and theology before pursuing further postgraduate studies at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. He subsequently undertook post-doctoral research in bioethics at the University of Tübingen, Germany; Georgetown University; and the University of Notre Dame, , as a Fulbright scholar and a fellow of the Alexander-von-Humboldt Stiftung, among other distinctions.

He is Professor of Moral Theology and Philosophical Ethics at the University of Malta and the former Head of the Department of Moral Theology. He serves as a member of the European Group of Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE), an advisory body to the European Commission, and of the Pontifical Academy for Life, and is moderator of the Commission on Ethics within COMECE. He has also played an active role in national and international bioethics initiatives, including the National Consultative Bioethics Committee and a UNESCO-supported programme on intercultural dialogue and human rights.

H.G. the Archbishop, Mgr. Charles J. Scicluna, appointed Professor Monsignor Agius as a member of the Metropolitan Cathedral Chapter on 25th January 2018, and as a member of the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation on 1st August 2019. On 13th December 2020, he received Malta’s highest honour – Midalja għall-Qadi tar-Repubblika – for his sterling service in bioethics and professional ethics, both in his native country and on the international scene. He is the author and co-editor of several publications, and several of his articles on bioethical, social and environmental issues, marriage and sexuality have appeared in several international peer-reviewed academic journals.

The Foundation warmly welcomes his presidency and extends its best wishes for a successful term ahead.

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to Colonel Dr Mark Mallia for his dedicated service and leadership during his tenure as President.

The post New President Appointed to the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation for 2026/2027 appeared first on St John's Co-Cathedral.

On Saturday, 4 July 2026 at 8:00pm, St John’s Co-Cathedral will proudly welcome the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae of Milan for Cantate Domino Canticum Novum, a concert celebrating the timeless beauty of sacred choral music under the direction of the distinguished Maestro Massimo Palombella.

Hosted within the magnificent setting of St John’s Co-Cathedral, the concert represents a significant cultural and spiritual occasion, bringing together one of Italy’s most exciting sacred music ensembles with one of Malta’s most treasured heritage sites. The performance reflects the Cathedral’s ongoing commitment to presenting artistic excellence while fostering meaningful international cultural exchange.

Established by the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae was created to nurture exceptional young musicians and promote the rich tradition of sacred music through rigorous study, research and concert performance. Since 2025, the ensemble has featured prominently in the concert initiatives of the Scuola della Cattedrale, earning recognition for its refined interpretations, particularly of Renaissance repertoire.

Leading the performance is Maestro Massimo Palombella, one of the foremost figures in sacred music today. Widely respected for his distinguished career, he served as Maestro Director of the Pontifical Sistine Chapel Choir from 2010 to 2019, appointed by Pope Benedict XVI and reconfirmed by Pope Francis. His work has received international acclaim, including the prestigious 2016 Echo Klassik Award for Cantate Domino. La Cappella Sistina e la musica dei Papi. Today, as Superintendent of the Musical Heritage of the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano and Maestro Director of the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae, he continues to shape the future of sacred choral music through artistic excellence and education.

St John’s Co-Cathedral is honoured to welcome both Maestro Palombella and the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae to Malta for what promises to be an inspiring evening of music, reflection and shared cultural heritage. Their visit strengthens the enduring bonds between two historic centres of faith, art and music, offering audiences the opportunity to experience performances of exceptional quality within one of Europe’s most remarkable Baroque cathedrals.

The concert’s title, Cantate Domino Canticum Novum – ‘Sing to the Lord a New Song’ – beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the evening: a celebration of sacred music that continues to inspire contemporary audiences while remaining deeply rooted in centuries of tradition.

St John’s Co-Cathedral extends its sincere gratitude to the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae, Maestro Massimo Palombella and the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano for making this special collaboration possible. The Cathedral looks forward to welcoming audiences to what promises to be a memorable and uplifting musical experience.

Il-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann Jilqa’ l-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae għal Serata Speċjali ta’ Mużika Sagra

Nhar is-Sibt, 4 ta’ Lulju 2026 fit-8:00pm, il-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann kburi jilqa’ l-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae ta’ Milan għal Cantate Domino Canticum Novum, kunċert li jiċċelebra s-sbuħija eterna tal-mużika korali sagra taħt id-direzzjoni tal-Maestru Massimo Palombella.

Imtella’ fl-ambjent rikk tal-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann, il-kunċert jirrappreżenta okkażjoni sinifikanti kulturali u spiritwali, li tgħaqqad flimkien wieħed l- mużika sagra ma’ wieħed mill-aktar siti ta’ wirt pretiġjużi ta’ Malta. Din il-prestazzjoni tirrifletti l-impenn kontinwu tal-Konkatidral li tippreżenta l-eċċellenza artistika filwaqt li trawwem skambju internazzjonali.

Imwaqqfa mill-Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano, l-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae nħolqot biex trawwem mużiċisti żgħażagħ u tippromwovi t-tradizzjoni rikka tal-mużika sagra permezz ta’ studju rigoruż, riċerka u kunċerti. Mill-2025, l-ensemble deher b’mod prominenti f’kunċerti tal-Scuola della Cattedrale, u kiseb rikonoxximent għall-interpretazzjonijiet raffinati tiegħu, partikolarment tar-repertorju tar-Rinaxximent.

Imexxi dan il-kor, il-Maestro Massimo Palombella – wieħed mill-figuri ewlenin fil-mużika sagra llum. Rispettat ħafna għall-karriera distinta tiegħu, serva bħala Direttur Maestro tal-Kor Pontifiċju tal-Kappella Sistina mill-2010 sal-2019, maħtur mill-Papa Benedittu XVI u kkonfermat mill-ġdid mill-Papa Franġisku. Ix-xogħol tiegħu rċieva tifħir internazzjonali, inkluż il-Premju Echo Klassik tal-2016 għall-Cantate Domino ‘La Cappella Sistina e la musica dei Papi’. Illum, bħala Sovrintendent tal-Wirt Mużikali tal-Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano u Direttur Maestro tal-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae, huwa jkompli jsawwar il-futur tal-mużika korali sagra permezz tal-eċċellenza artistika u l-edukazzjoni.

Il-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann huwa onorat li jilqa’ kemm lill-Maestro Palombella kif ukoll lill-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae f’Malta għal dak li jwiegħed li ħa tkun lejla ta’ ispirazzjoni, ta’ mużika, riflessjoni u wirt kulturali kondiviż. Iż-żjara tagħhom issaħħaħ ir-rabtiet dejjiema bejn żewġ ċentri storiċi ta’ fidi, arti u mużika, u toffri lill-udjenzi l-opportunità li jesperjenzaw wirjiet ta’ kwalità eċċezzjonali f’wieħed mill-aktar katidrali Barokki notevoli tal-Ewropa.

It-titlu tal-kunċert, Cantate Domino Canticum Novum – ‘Għannu lill-Mulej Għanja Ġdida’ – jiġbor b’mod sabiħ l-ispirtu tal-lejla: ċelebrazzjoni ta’ mużika sagra li tkompli tispira lill-udjenzi kontemporanji filwaqt li tibqa’ msejsa sew f’sekli ta’ tradizzjoni.

Il-Konkatidral ta’ San Ġwann jestendi l-gratitudni sinċiera tiegħu lill-Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae, lill-Maestro Massimo Palombella u lill-Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo di Milano talli għamlu din il-kollaborazzjoni speċjali possibbli. Il-Konkatidral jistenna bil-ħerqa li jilqa’ lill-udjenzi għal dak li jwiegħed li jkun esperjenza mużikali memorabbli.

The post St John’s Co-Cathedral Welcomes the Schola Cantorum Venerandae Fabricae for a Special Evening of Sacred Music appeared first on St John's Co-Cathedral.

From 9 June to 10 July 2026, St John’s Co-Cathedral presents ‘Sette Giugno 1919. Memory and Ritual’, an exhibition exploring one of the defining moments of modern Maltese history through remembrance, funerary culture, and material heritage.

The exhibition commemorates the events of 7 June 1919, when social and economic tensions under British colonial rule erupted into unrest in Valletta. Rising food prices, post-war hardship, unemployment, and growing dissatisfaction with the colonial administration culminated in the deaths of four Maltese civilians. The events of Sette Giugno became a significant milestone in Malta’s journey towards self-government in 1921 and Independence in 1964.

At the centre of the exhibition is a remarkable and previously unstudied collection of funerary cartelloni preserved at St John’s Co-Cathedral. Comprising more than 200 painted funerary emblems dating from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, these works once formed part of elaborate funeral ceremonies for Grand Masters, Knights of the Order, ecclesiastical dignitaries, and prominent families. Displayed alongside the Cappella Ardente, they served as visual expressions of identity, status, and remembrance.

Particular focus is given to four rare cartelloni dated 7 June 1919 and traditionally associated with commemorations of the Sette Giugno victims and a High Mass celebrated in Floriana on 9 June. Although details of the original ceremony remain unknown, these objects offer a powerful insight into how communities memorialised loss and historical events.
Through these artefacts, the exhibition examines the role of ritual, symbolism, and public commemoration in shaping collective memory. It also highlights the continuity and evolution of funerary traditions within Malta’s cultural history.

The exhibition includes a dedicated accessibility station featuring tactile 2.5D wooden bas-relief reproductions, audio descriptions, and interpretive content, enabling visitors to engage with key objects through touch and sound.

Presented in the Sacristy of St John’s Co-Cathedral, ‘Sette Giugno 1919. Memory and Ritual’ offers a rare opportunity to explore an overlooked aspect of Malta’s cultural heritage and reflect on the enduring connections between history, remembrance, and public memory.

The exhibition is organised by St John’s Co-Cathedral in collaboration with CRPD – Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability, the National Archives of Malta, Fondazzjoni Fortunato u Enrico Mizzi, and the Parish Church of St Catherine, Żejtun.

The exhibition will be on display in the Sacristy of St John’s Co-Cathedral from 9 June to 10 July 2026. Admission is included with the standard entry ticket, while holders of a valid Maltese ID Card or Heritage Malta Passport may visit free of charge upon presentation of their card or passport.

In the Sacristy of St John’s Co-Cathedral, the exhibition revisits the events of 7 June 1919, a defining moment in Malta’s modern history, through an unexpected and fascinating lens: funerary cartelloni.

These beautifully painted funerary emblems, many of which have remained largely unseen and unstudied until now, once formed part of elaborate commemorative ceremonies honouring Grand Masters, Knights, ecclesiastical figures, and prominent families. Created on wood and paper and rich in symbolism, the cartelloni acted as visual markers of remembrance, preserving identity and memory within public ritual.

At the heart of the exhibition are four rare cartelloni dated 7 June 1919, traditionally associated with the victims of the Sette Giugno uprising and the High Mass celebrated in Floriana shortly after the tragic events unfolded.

Rather than presenting history as something distant or static, the exhibition explores how communities remember, mourn, and transform collective experiences into shared identity. Through ritual objects, historical research, and the evocative setting of St John’s Co-Cathedral itself, visitors are encouraged to reflect on the ways memory is constructed and carried across generations.

The exhibition also offers a rare opportunity to encounter a lesser-known aspect of Maltese cultural heritage within one of the island’s most iconic historic spaces. For both locals and visitors, it is a chance to engage with an important chapter of Maltese history through art, ceremony, and memory.

Marking the commemoration of Sette Giugno, this reminds us that remembrance is not only about looking back, but also about understanding how the past continues to shape who we are today.

Historic achievement marks first-ever Museums + Heritage Award win for a Maltese institution

St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation is proud to announce that the Caravaggio Wing at St John’s Co-Cathedral has won the Best Use of Digital – International category at the 24th annual Museums + Heritage Awards, one of the most respected accolades in the global museum and heritage sector.

The win marks what is believed to be the first time a Maltese institution has received a Museums + Heritage Award, placing Malta firmly on the international cultural map alongside some of the world’s leading museums, galleries, and heritage attractions.

Recognised for its innovative and immersive visitor experience, the Caravaggio Wing transforms how audiences engage with The Beheading of St John the Baptist, one of art history’s most celebrated masterpieces. Through cinematic storytelling, immersive projections, and interactive digital interpretation exploring Caravaggio’s dramatic time in Malta, the wing has redefined the visitor experience at the Cathedral.

Since opening, the Caravaggio Wing has welcomed an estimated 2.3 million visitors annually, with 95% engaging with the Caravaggio section and visitors spending an average of 45 minutes in the experience — demonstrating a level of engagement far beyond a traditional cathedral visit. The wing also supports more than 50,000 learners each year through dedicated educational programmes. The Museums + Heritage Awards are organised annually by Altair Media Ltd and celebrate excellence and innovation across the international museum, gallery, and heritage sectors. This year’s winners were selected by an independent panel of nine highly respected judges from a record-breaking number of global entries.

Tonio Mallia, Chief Executive Officer of St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation, said:

“Winning the Museums + Heritage Award is an extraordinary moment for St John’s Co-Cathedral and for Malta. From the beginning, the vision behind the Caravaggio Wing was to create an experience that would bring one of the world’s greatest masterpieces to life in a way that is emotionally powerful, intellectually engaging, and accessible to all. To receive this recognition on an international stage is a tremendous honour and a testament to the passion, creativity, and dedication of our entire team.”

The award was presented during a ceremony held on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at the Hilton on Park Lane in London.

The Caravaggio Wing was funded through Operational Programme I – European Structural and Investment Funds 2014–2020, ‘Fostering a competitive and sustainable economy to meet our challenges’. The project was part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, with a co-financing rate of 80% from the European Union and 20% from St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation.

On Wednesday 6 May, St John’s Co-Cathedral will host a day-long titled Where Stories Live | Narrative in an Evolving Experience at King’s Own Band Club in Valletta, bringing together leading thinkers and practitioners to explore storytelling as a strategic link between heritage, digital transformation, human experience, and future relevance.

A central highlight of the seminar is the keynote address by internationally recognised museologist Dr Caroline Wilson-Barnao, whose work has significantly shaped contemporary thinking on museums in the digital age. A leading voice in global museum studies, her research examines the implications of digital and participatory media for museum practice. She is the author of Museums as Platforms (2022) and co-author of Collecting Social Media: From Object to Content (2025), with widely cited contributions on digitisation, platform logics, personalisation, and algorithmic cultural recommendation. Formerly Director of Museum Studies at the University of Queensland, she continues to play an active role in international research communities, contributing to initiatives such as the CPRA Australia Board and critical heritage and digital culture networks.

The seminar will also feature a series of panel discussions and workshops led by a diverse line-up of local and international speakers. Among the contributors is Dr Sandro Debono, a Malta-based academic and museum advisor, and executive board member of the Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO), where he leads the Think Tank for Museum Futures. International perspectives will be further enriched by Dr Annalisa Banzi, an art historian from the University of Milan whose research focuses on the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and visitor experience in museums.

The programme also includes contributions from John Mallia, Simone Spiteri and Alex Zammit. Mallia is a highly experienced trainer who has been active since 1998 and specialises in motivational training for personal development, communication, and workplace effectiveness across a wide range of public and private sector organisations. Spiteri, an award-winning playwright and founder of theatre company Dù, brings a strong narrative and performative dimension, with works staged internationally and recognised by national awards, including the National Book Prize for Drama. Zammit’s interdisciplinary work bridges theology, psychology, art, and cultural engagement, focusing on how art functions as both a reflection of culture and a vehicle for meaning.

The seminar offers a unique platform for dialogue across disciplines, inviting participants to consider how storytelling can shape more meaningful, inclusive, and future-oriented cultural experiences.

Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
