Chamber Orchestra of New York 2010 Season Opening Concert on February 13 at Church of St. Jean Baptiste in Manhattan – Repertoire Includes World Premiere of Respighi Violin Concerto
Posted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement
The Chamber Orchestra of New York, Salvatore Di Vittorio, Music Director will present its 2010 season opening concert on Saturday, February 13 – 8:00 PM at Church of St. Jean Baptiste, Lexington Avenue at 76th Street in Manhattan.
Repertoire will be Rossini-Respighi, Rossiniana Suite, the World Premieres of the Respighi-Di Vittorio Concerto for Violin, Salvatore Di Vittorio’s (after Respighi) Overtura Respighiana and the U.S. Premiere of his Sinfonia No. 2 (Revised 2000). Guest soloist for the Respighi concerto will be violinist Laura Marzadori.
This opening concert of the Chamber Orchestra of New York’s third season has been created in collaboration with the Pizzoli family (great nieces and heirs of Ottorino Respighi) and Potito Pedarra (Respighi archive curator). After meetings in 2007, Mr. Pedarra entrusted Maestro Di Vittorio with copies of unpublished Respighi manuscripts, in anticipation of their possible public premieres.
After acknowledging Di Vittorio’s inherent musical connection with Respighi, Mr. Pedarra (in agreement with the Pizzolis) invited the Maestro to complete Respighi’s first (unfinished) Concerto for Violin, which was originally composed in 1903 and pre-dates his other three published works. This will be the World Premiere of the completed work.
Tickets for the February 13 concert are $35 and $25 for seniors and students and can be ordered by calling 866-468-7619 or online through TicketWeb at http://www.ticketweb.com/.
