On behalf of the President, Committee and Members of the l’Unione Philharmonic Society of Luqa, we would like to welcome you to this official website of our Club. Our Society was founded way back in 1880 to spread musical culture in our village and to enrich the feast of St Andrew the Apostle, Patron Saint of Luqa.



Il-Festa Maghna
Fi ftit gimghat ohra nkunu qeghdin niccelebraw il-festa tant ghaziza ghalina l-Haluqin u ghas-Socjeta Taghna....
Today Sunday 21 June 2009, after an extensive research exercise carried out by Mr. Fancis Galea, a well renowned Maltese Historian, it was confirmed that our beloved society l'Unione Philharmonic Society was the first Musical Society in Luqa. This is another break through in the history of bands in Luqa. It was confirmed through documentation that the Saint Andrew's Band did its first performance in Augst 15 1884 in the village of Ghaxaq. The next performance (the 2nd one) was done at the end of August 1884. This confirms that the L'Unjoni Philharmonic Society was the first band in Luqa.  A new book 'L-Ahhar Kelma' was issued today (21/06/09) to document this find and close this issue once and for all.
