Orchestra Filarmonica Toscanini - Giuseppe Sinopoli

The Arturo Toscanini Foundation in Parma and the Taormina Arte - Festival Sinopoli Foundation provide season ticket holders for the Laudamo Philharmonic with an opportunity to attend, participating actively, the final evenings of the 1st edition of the International Competition for Conductors entitled to the great conductor and composer Giuseppe Sinopoli, who, although he was not born in Messina, received his initial musical education on the shores of the Straight, returning here in 1985 to inaugurate the reopened Vittorio Emanuele Theatre with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and then later as the artistic director of TaoArte which is centred on Wagner’s Myth and dramaturgy. He died prematurely in 2001 while conducting the Aida at the Deutsche Opera in Berlin, and it is to him that the conductors competition is dedicated. This event ends precisely with two concerts, the Semi-final for four candidates and the Final with only two. The Jury is presided over by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, and the orchestra is the Toscanini Philharmonic. Two awards will also be assigned on the last evening, the Orchestra’s Special Award and the Audience’s Special Award for one of the four semi-finalists performing on the evenings of October 24th and 25th. Season ticket holders who are interested in attending this event are invited to book in time with the Laudamo Philharmonic Orchestra’s Secretary’s Office.
