Marked by the great symphonic tradition of 19th Century, the Orchestra dell\u2019Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia<\/a><\/strong> opens 2026 season of the Concerti del Lingotto<\/em> series on Friday, January 9th at Auditorium Giovanni Agnelli<\/strong>\u00a0with the double debut at Lingotto of conductor Manfred Honeck<\/strong> and pianist Simon Trp\u010deski<\/strong><\/a>. The evening\u2019s program centers on the great Piano Concerto No. 1 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky<\/strong>, preceded by the Overture from Oberon<\/em> by Carl Maria von Weber<\/strong> and followed by Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s Symphony No. 8 in G major<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1908, the Orchestra dell\u2019Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia<\/strong> was the first Italian ensemble to devote itself exclusively to the symphonic repertoire. It has worked with some of the greatest interpreters of the twentieth century and our own time\u2014from Mahler, Strauss, and Stravinsky to Toscanini, Furtw\u00e4ngler, Karajan, Bernstein, and Abbado\u2014and today it is a regular guest in the world\u2019s leading concert halls.<\/p>\n

After beginning his career in Vienna as Claudio Abbado’s assistant, Manfred Honeck<\/strong> has established himself as one of the most authoritative figures on the international music scene, building a distinguished career that has led him to collaborate with major European and American orchestras. Since 2008 he has served as Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, with which he has produced a highly acclaimed, award-winning discography.<\/p>\n

The soloist of the evening is Simon Trp\u010deski<\/strong>, the Macedonian pianist who came to prominence as a BBC \u201cNew Generation Artist\u201d from 2001 to 2003. Since then, he has collaborated with more than 100 orchestras across four continents\u2014including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\u2014conducted by interpreters such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Gustavo Dudamel, and Sir Antonio Pappano.<\/p>\n

The program illustrates three faces of the long 19th Century, through an ideal journey from Germany to Russia, via Central Europe. Carl Maria von Weber\u2019s Oberon<\/em> Overture<\/strong> reflects the Romantic fascination with fantasy and folklore, putting into symphonic form the fairy-tale characters and atmospheres of the opera from which it is drawn. Born of a long and complex compositional process, Tchaikovsky\u2019s Piano Concerto No. 1<\/strong> combines immediate expressive power with Lisztian virtuosity, while Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s Symphony No. 8<\/strong>\u2014known as the \u201cEnglish\u201d Symphony because of its success in London\u2014is deeply inspired by the Bohemian folk tradition.<\/p>\n
