Crescendo is the term for the gradual increase in volume in a musical piece, and it’s also the title of the new Music Season of the Ponchielli Theatre!
The program includes eight unmissable events, featuring renowned artists and emerging talents in a line-up among the richest in Italy, offering concerts of extraordinary beauty.
For the first time ever at the Ponchielli Theatre. one of the most important Italian Orchestras, the Filarmonica della Scala, conducted on this occasion by Lorenzo Viotti, one of the most intriguing and sought-after conductors on the international scene.
In February, another renowned German violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of the most virtuosic violinists alive, accompanied on piano by Dmytro Choni, will present a program of exceptional prestige.
March will open with a unique chamber music concert: five outstanding soloists will delight us with a rarely heard but emotionally powerful program. On March 28, one of the most significant conductors on the Italian scene, Michele Mariotti, will take the podium to lead the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana with German cellist Raphaela Gromes as the featured soloist.
The journey with international youth orchestras continues. In 2025, the spotlight will be on the JUGENDSINFONIEORCHESTER BERLIN , featuring over seventy exceptionally talented young musicians from Berlin’s music universities.
Two more rising stars will also grace the Ponchielli stage: Lucas & Arthur Jussen, young pianists making waves across Europe with their vibrant performances and unmistakable talent.
The a cappella vocal quintet Alti & Bassi, five voices that, when needed, can transform into instruments, will lead us through an engaging mix of music and entertainment, blending humour with refined musical skill.
Closing the season will be one of today’s most versatile and celebrated violinists, Isabelle Faust. She will be joined by Il Giardino Armonico, an ensemble dedicated to historical performance, playing on period instruments under the direction of the esteemed Giovanni Antonini.
We can’t wait to share moments of deep emotion, excitement, and dreams, and rediscover together the beauty of live music.
