This beautifully conceived program offers works for string orchestra by Russian composers, sharing an elegiac and melancholic mood, expressed in the warm and sonorous sound of string instruments, from the deep warm buzzing of the celli to the soaring melodies of the violins.

Presented are the beautiful, unique Saxophone Concerto by Glazunov, as well as that composer’s Theme & Variations for string orchestra, the two Elegies for strings by Tchaikovsky (one of them from the famous Serenade for Strings Op. 48), and the popular Nocturne from the second string quartet by Borodin, arranged for string orchestra.

Roma Tre Orchestra is the first academic Orchestra established in Rome and in Lazio. It was founded in 2005, it aims at dedication, excellence and at spreading of great music especially among younger generations. Its conductor in Residence is Sieva Borzak. The saxophonist Jacopo Taddei is the winner of the prestigious 2015 Claudio Abbado Music Prize.
