Programme:
Danilo Karim Kaddouri / Due rituali, for female voice and orchestra – commissioned by the ORT Foundation, world premiere
Carl Maria von Weber / Concertino for Horn, Op. 45
Ludwig van Beethoven / Symphony No. 2, Op. 36
New works and the classical repertoire come together in the programme conducted by Giampaolo Pretto.
The Orchestra della Toscana opens with the world premiere of Due rituali, for female voice and orchestra, a new commission from the ORT Foundation to Danilo Karim Kaddouri, featuring mezzo-soprano Akiko Kozato. The presence of the voice introduces a theatrical and ritualistic dimension that engages in dialogue with the orchestral ensemble. This is followed by Concertino for Horn and Orchestra Op. 45 by Carl Maria von Weber, performed by the ORT’s principal horn Andrea Mancini, a brilliant and virtuosic piece from the Romantic horn repertoire.
The concert concludes with Symphony No. 2 Op. 36 by Ludwig van Beethoven, a work still rooted in the classical tradition yet already imbued with a powerful driving energy.
