The Malta Society of Arts (MSA), in collaboration with Arts Council Malta (ACM), has announced the second edition of Sustain-Delay, a music and arts programme designed to introduce diverse audiences to a wide range of sonic and artistic experiences.
Artistic Director Kurt Buttigieg remarked that the team is thrilled to host both local and international artists, creating a dynamic fusion of sounds, ideas, and activities while fostering a legacy of experimentation and inclusivity.
“In 2025, we’re taking things to the next level with an expanded programme that encompasses dance, literature, workshops, and increased community involvement,” he said.
The second edition of Sustain-Delay unfolds across four seasons: Winter (February), Spring (April), Summer (July), and Autumn (November), with fringe events also planned.
Building on the success of its previous edition, Sustain-Delay 2025 promises an expanded line-up featuring 14 unique events. This includes concerts, workshops, and literary gatherings. The programme continues to invite both seasoned enthusiasts of experimental arts and newcomers to venture into uncharted creative territories.
The programme features talent from Malta, France, Italy, Belgium, Turkey and the Netherlands. Performers include percussionist Will Guthrie (USA), pianist Gabi Sultana (Malta), experimental harpist Léa Roger (France), electronic musician Huerco S. (USA), and vocalist Dullmea (Portugal).
MSA President Adrian Mamo commented that Sustain-Delay reflects the MSA’s commitment to fostering creative exploration and innovation.
He added that by bringing together artists and audiences from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds, the collaboration seeks to establish MSA as a vibrant hub for experimental and collaborative arts in Malta.
Mary Ann Cauchi, COO for Funding and Strategy at ACM, added that “ACM is committed to nurturing the artistic development of the MSA, a leading arts institution with a strong focus on innovation in the arts as well as on arts education. Sustain-Delay aligns perfectly with ACM’s Strategy 2025 to further strengthen and diversify the arts sector in Malta.”
