    Second appointment with the ORT as protagonist at the Badia 2024 Concerts. Conducting on the podium is the crystalline talent of Niklas Benjamin Hoffmann from Germany, who returns to work with the Orchestra after five years. In the meantime, he has collaborated with some of the most prestigious international orchestras, including the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano, the St. Petersburg Orchestra and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, as well as establishing an ambitious project, the Ensemble Momentum, a cross-media laboratory that he still directs today, creating unique listening experiences in the concert scene.
    On the programme of this concert is Haydn‘s Symphony No. 101, also known as ‘The Clock’, because of its second movement with its mechanical progression, marked by a ticking sound reminiscent of a clockwork mechanism. One of the Austrian composer’s most popular and oft-repeated so-called London symphonies.
    The second part of the programme is Schumann‘s Concerto in A minor for Cello and Orchestra op. 129. This is a page that Schumann himself described as a ‘serene piece’, giving no hint of his psychological condition, which would later worsen, with increasingly constant neuroses accompanying his death.
    The choice of the latter piece highlights the soloist on cello in this concert, Silvia Chiesa. An artist who has contributed to the revival of the 20th century solo repertoire, through the recording project ‘Trilogia del Novecento Italiano’, published by Sony Classical, she has been chosen by composers such as Clementi, Dall’Ongaro and Sollima for premieres of their works, as well as performing as a soloist with, among others, OSN Rai, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic.
