New Year’s classical concert returns to John Mackintosh Hall

Gibraltar Cultural Services, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, has announced the return of the New Year’s Classical Concert, with two performances by the Strait Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Miguel Monge, at the John Mackintosh Hall Theatre on Sunday January 4 2026.

The first performance, an orchestral concert for children, will begin at 4pm, followed by the main evening concert for adults at 7pm.

The Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism, Christian Santos, said: “I hope families take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to introduce their children to classical music. These events are a great way of seeing in the New Year and extending the Christmas spirit into January.”
