History
The Association Orchestra Filarmonica del Gran Teatro La Fenice di Venezia performs its activity in concordance with Consiglio di Amministrazione della Fondazione Teatro La Fenice, intending the promotion and diffusion of music, especially the symphonic genre, regionally, nationally and internationally. This is executed with total autonomy, and always in the pursuit of a high artistic-musical prestige.
For that purpose the Orchestra realizes its own seasons of concerts at La Fenice and develops contextually intense relationships with multiple cultural actualities for the promotion of its own activity in Italy and foreign countries, availing of the collaboration of prestigious orchestra leaders and soloists famous all over the world.
Attention is referenced to the new generations, both keeping a tight contact with viewers that are still in school, that is to say the tomorrow’s public, and dedicating attention to the professional growth of talented young people that are starting to take their first steps in the difficult world of music.
President
Currently the role of President is being performed by Luciano Guerrato, owner of the namesake society, while the honorary President is Umberto Veronesi.
Orchestra
The basic staff of the Orchestra is composed of about 90 partners, professors with an open-ended contract with the Foundation of Teatro La Fenice; depending on the needs and on the repertories the staff can be extended through outer collaborations of professors of orchestra with proven fame and experience.
