The Mantua Chamber Orchestra
Carlo Fabiano – Gabriele Carcano

Since its debut in 1981 in the splendid setting of the Bibiena Theatre in Mantua, an architectural jewel and the ideal location for music, The Mantua Chamber Orchestra commanded attention for what are still today its particular characteristics: technical brilliance, assiduous research for sound quality, particular sensitivity for problems posed by style. In the course of its artistic life, the orchestra has worked with conductors and soloists such as Salvatore Accardo, Gidon Kremer, Shlomo Mintz, Uto Ughi, Misha Maisky, Katia and Marielle Labeque, Andrea Lucchesini and, last but not least, Alexander Lonquich, who chose this orchestra to present as both conductor and soloist the integral version of Mozart’s concerts for the piano. This orchestra is in fact no newcomer to such far-reaching initiatives, such as the Beethoven Project in 2002 guided by its main conductor Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli. Within the framework of an Italian tour sponsored by CIDIM, the orchestra plays at the Filarmonica Laudamo with recourse to the presence of a pianist who is as young as he is talented: Gabriele Carcano, who has made his debut both as a soloist and performing with the orchestra in prestigious locations, such as the La Fenice Theatre in Venice, the Regio in Turin, and the Montpellier Festival where he played in a duo with Aldo Ciccolini.
