Liszt / Rota / Dvorak / Cafiero: Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano
Milan, Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo — main
About the Event
A solo double bass? While it's not typically featured in this role, the double bass boasts a deep, richly appealing tone. This instrument has navigated centuries of music, triumphantly entering the worlds of jazz and cinema, where it embraces a new soloist vocation. Showcasing its myriad tonal nuances will be virtuoso Dominik Wagner, a premier Austrian double bassist celebrated for his extraordinary technical skill and dedication to establishing the double bass as a solo instrument. Wagner is set to perform Nino Rota's Divertimento concertante for double bass, a piece that accentuates the instrument's extraordinary expressive capacity, alongside Franz Liszt's Orpheus and Dvořák's Symphony No. 6. He will perform under the brilliant baton of Clelia Cafiero, whose career is noted for the versatility and elegance she brings to both operatic and symphonic repertoire.
Program
- Franz Liszt – Orpheus, Poema sinfonico n. 4
- Nino Rota – Divertimento concertante per contrabbasso e orchestra
- Antonín Dvořák – Sinfonia n. 6 in Re maggiore op. 60
Artists
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. |
