New Year's Concert

The New Year's Concert by the’Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana promises to be an extraordinary and unmissable event, perfect to welcome in the New Year under the banner of great music. With the theme “Dances of Europe”, the orchestra will take us on a marvellous sound journey through Europe’s diverse musical traditions, exploring the essence of folk dance, from Vienna to Italy, passing through the heart of Central Europe.

.

The concert programme includes masterpieces by composers who were able to capture the soul of folk dances and transform them into timeless works of art. The repertoire of Johann Strauss, “The Waltz King” with his famous Viennese polkas and waltzes, will evoke the elegance and energy of the Austrian capital during the golden age of dance music. Each Strauss note carries with it the charm of a festival, a celebration of life and joy, which will find a perfect stage in New Year's Eve.

Antonán Dvořák, on the other hand, with his Slavonic Dances, will immerse us in the warm and suggestive atmospheres of Central Europe. His melodies, full of vivacity and feeling, reflect the pride of the popular culture of his native Czech Republic. Dvořák èk is a master at blending tradition and innovation, creating music that enchants and captivates, capable of speaking to the heart of anyone who hears it.

There will also be a tribute to Italy with the music of Ottorino Respighi, the composer who was able to rediscover and enhance the Italian musical heritage. His works, inspired by Renaissance and Baroque music, will be a tribute to our cultural tradition, in a perfect balance between the past and modernity. Respighi is famous for his ability to evoke vivid images through music, and in the context of this concert, he will transport us to the landscapes and ballrooms of Italian courts.

.

Finally, the compositions of Johannes Brahms will enrich the programme with their solemn and majestic tone, while maintaining a strong connection to their German folk roots. The Hungarian Dances by Brahms, in particular, will be a tribute to the passion and power of Eastern European folk music, with their fast-paced rhythm and captivating melodies.

This concert is not only an occasion to celebrate the start of the New Year, but also an opportunity to reflect on the cultural unity of Europe through music. Each piece performed by the Italian Philharmonic Orchestra will be a piece of a mosaic that tells of the diversity and beauty of our continent. An event that promises to be an engaging and refined experience, capable of touching the heart and soul of every spectator, and that, through dance, reminds us of the importance of celebration, sharing and joy.
