The Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven turns 200 years old and is considered the monument of music of all times. The execution at the Teatro Sociale Como will feature the AsLiCo Choir, the Canova Chamber Orchestra and four young soloists conducted by Maestro Enrico Saverio Pagano.

the Jakarta Concert Orchestra, conducted by Avip Priatna, is one of Indonesia's most prestigious professional orchestras, performing symphonic concerts that reach the highest artistic standards, characterised by a diverse repertoire.

On stage, the return of great cellist Giovanni Sollima, now a friend of the Teatro Sociale. With him, the Israeli mandolin musician Avi Avital, the first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, for his mastery of his instrument and his incredible virtuosity; passionate and 'explosively charismatic' in live performances, he is a driving force behind the reinvigoration of the mandolin repertoire. And again, Alessia Tondo, one of the most important voices on the music scene in Apulia, and Luca Tarantino at the guitar and theorbo.

An extraordinary musical evening with Davide Alogna, violin soloist, with the orchestra I Musici della Scala, under the baton of Croatian Miran Vaupotic. A unique musical journey that will take the audience through the streets of the world's cities from 1700 to the present day. A harmonious encounter between East and West that promises to fascinate and inspire.

Two composers, representative of the classical-romantic repertoire par excellence, observed through two exemplary pages from their catalogue: the Concerto in D major for violin and orchestra op. 61 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1806) and the Symphony No. 3 in A minor op. 56 "Scottish" by Felix Mendelssohn (1842) entrusted to the baton of the Pomeriggi Musicali's guest conductor Stefano Montanari and a star of the bow such as Viktoria Mullova. The Concerto offers wonders of lyricism and vivacity, characterising some pages from the central season of the great composer's creativity.

In this extraordinary recital, pianist Mariangela Vacatello guides us on a fascinating musical journey through the night. The programme explores the facets of the nocturnal theme through the works of great composers.
