About the Event

Europe and America. This program unites Martinů and Dvořák, two composers who, despite circumstances, became global citizens as they departed their homeland, now known as the Czech Republic. The program begins with Dvořák's Carnival Overture. In the late 19th century, he journeyed across the Atlantic to lead the New York Conservatory. Martinů's rare and demanding Rhapsody‐Concerto for Viola and Orchestra also features in the lineup, reflecting his forced departure from Europe during World War II's dark period. This intricate program culminates with Schumann's Rheinische Symphony under the baton of Cornelius Meister, Stuttgart State Opera's General Music Director since 2018, showcasing Sarah McElravy on viola, a versatile artist skilled as both a violinist and violist.

Program

  • Antonín Dvořák – Carnival Overture, Op. 92
  • Bohuslav Martinů – Rhapsody — Concerto for viola & orchestra, H. 337
  • Robert Schumann – Sinfonia n.3 in Mi bemolle maggiore op.97 “Renana”

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.

Viola: Sarah McElravy
