About the Event
Immerse yourself in the ambiance of the Austro‐Hungarian Empire with a musical journey leading from its farthest reaches to Vienna. Who better to guide us than Alfred Eschwé, kapellmeister and ultimate guardian of Austrian tradition? Following his debut last season, Eschwé presents a journey starting with Bartók's evocative Hungarian Pictures, followed by Haydn's final Symphony with Drum Roll, and ending with a selection of Strauss's most iconic pieces, including the Tritsch‐Tratsch Polka and the Kaiser Waltz.

| Orchestra: | Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi Known colloquially as 'La Verdi', Milan's famed symphony orchestra was formed in the early 90s to supplement the city's already‐generous cultural offering. Making its home in Milan's Auditorio, La Verdi features among Europe's most respected and admired symphonic ensembles. Its first Musical Director, Ricardo Chailly, now holds the title of Conductor Laureate, while the Austrian conductor, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, a fast‐rising star in the orchestral firmament took over the role of Musical Director in 2024, following in the footsteps of several major names in the classical world. La Verdi welcomes a starry roster of soloists and guest conductors over the course of an extensive and varied annual season, and regularly features as guests of honour at important state occasions and international concert engagements. |
