e in formato cartaceo i primi giorni di luglio.
Anche Mahler ha un “suono originale”? Certo, e il progetto del Bolzano Festival Bozen lo sta indagando da anni. Anche quest’anno torna in Alto Adige Sir John Eliot Gardiner, il nostro progetto di copertina, che ci racconta del suo legame con l’Italia e di tanto altro. Un italiano all’estero, invece, è Jader Bignamini, direttore musicale della Detroit Symphony Orchestra: vi raccontiamo la storia e la rinascita di un’orchestra tra le più antiche d’America. E poi torniamo a intervistare Roberto Alagna, che quest’estate sarà di casa in Italia, tra Arena e Torre del Lago, mentre vi portiamo nella Repubblica Ceca per un interessante viaggio musicale. Ancora, un servizio dedicato al mandolino (strumento oggi di gran moda), le interviste a Sandrine Piau e Linda Di Carlo, le recensioni, la “nuova” Hyperion: insomma, scoprite il numero di luglio-agosto di MUSICA ora in digitale e tra pochi giorni in edicola!

What a week! 🎶💫
Our artistic curator Philipp von Steinaecker stepped in on short notice to conduct the Mahler Chamber Orchestra – and what followed was a truly unforgettable tour.

From the Vienna Konzerthaus to the Philharmonie Berlin, Kölner Philharmonie, and Mozartfest Augsburg, the performances of Schubert’s Unfinished, Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll and Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony were met with standing ovations and warm hearts.

As a founding member of the MCO and a long-time friend of the Gustav Mahler Academy, it was a special joy to see Philipp lead this remarkable group – and a beautiful reminder of the deep artistic connections we share.

Thank you, Mahler Chamber Orchestra – see you soon in Bolzano! 💛

Our artistic curator Philipp von Steinaecker jumps in this week with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra! 💥🎶
It’s a special moment: Philipp – who was a founding cellist of the MCO and is now a conductor and our cherished artistic curator – has been called to step in as conductor for this week’s MCO tour.

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra isn’t just any orchestra – they’re a long-time partner of the Gustav Mahler Academy and will be back with us this summer to teach and inspire our young musicians. That makes it all the more meaningful to see Philipp von Steinaecker take the podium with them this week. Even though he’s part of the MCO family, it’s a real honour to be asked to lead this tour on such short notice.

Toi toi toi, Philipp! 💫
