Wagner / Bruckner / Tjeknavorian: Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano
Milan, Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo — main
About the Event
In 1870, Richard Wagner crafted a charming instrumental piece, Siegfried Idyll, for 13 instruments as a birthday gift for his wife, Cosima, who had recently given birth to their dear son, Siegfried. The debut performance was staged as a surprise when Cosima awoke on Christmas morning at their family villa in Tribschen near Lucerne. While the Idyll carries a tender and emotional intimacy, it is intriguingly paired with a contrasting work: Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, which is grand and solemn, designed to captivate with its majestic sound and the spiritual power it exudes.
Program
- Richard Wagner – Sigfried Idyll
- Anton Bruckner – Sinfonia n. 7 in Mi maggiore
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. |
