About the Event

Milan‐Parma, a compelling journey. There exists a profound connection between the Lombard capital and the Emilian city. Giuseppe Verdi, hailing from Roncole di Busseto in Parma’s province, shared a strong link with Milan, where he lived and thrived. Arturo Toscanini, originating from Parma’s Oltretorrente district, served as the chief conductor for Milan’s Teatro alla Scala Orchestra from 1921 to 1929. Romano Gandolfi, the legendary choir director born in Medesano, Parma, founded the Coro Sinfonico di Milano. This list is long and continues to expand. Today, we honor this Milan‐Parma connection with an enticing co‐production, featuring a renowned conductor on the stages of the Auditorium in Milan and the Arturo Toscanini Music Production Center at the Parco della Musica in Parma: Christoph Eschenbach, performing Bruckner's Fourth and Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto, joined by rising piano star Tom Borrow.

Program

Artists

Conductor: Christoph Eschenbach

Christoph Eschenbach, born 1940 in Breslau, Germany (today Wroclaw, Poland) is a noted pianist and conductor. Orphaned by World War II, he won numerous first‐place piano competition prizes. In 1964 he made his first recording (of Mozart) for Deutsche Grammophon and signed a contract with the label.

Prior to being named to his positions as Music Director of the Orchestre de Paris and the Philadelphia Orchestra, he held principal conducting and directing positions with orchestras in Ludwigshafen and Hamburg (Germany) and the Ravinia Festival (outside Chicago, Illinois). In 1981 he became principal guest conductor of Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, and was chief conductor from 1982‐86. Other posts include music director of the Houston (1988‐99); chief conductor of the Hamburg NDR Symphony (1998‐2004); and music director of the Ravinia Festival, summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (1994‐2003). He has made numerous recordings both as piano soloist and conductor.

He is credited with helping and supporting talented young musicians in their career development including soprano Renée Fleming and pianists Tzimon Barto and Lang Lang.
