Following its premiere at the Matera International Film Festival, James Conlon: Between Italian Roots and American Wings – the documentary produced by the ORT Foundation and directed by Edoardo Zucchetti, dedicated to honorary conductor James Conlon – is coming to Florence for the first time.
The screening will take place on Friday 20 November at 6.30 pm on the stage of the Teatro Verdi, in the presence of James Conlon and the director Edoardo Zucchetti. Through a first-person account, the conductor traces his Italian roots, his musical training and his international career, whilst also reflecting on his deep connection with Florence and the Orchestra della Toscana.
The event will be introduced by the ORT’s artistic director, Daniele Spini. Following this, James Conlon and Edoardo Zucchetti will take part in a discussion with a journalist.
