13th edition of the Open rehearsals

Milan, Dec. 19, 2023 - Opening on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at 8:30 p.m. is the thirteenth edition of the charity Open rehearsals created by Filarmonica della Scala in collaboration with Main Partner UniCredit and the result of their mutual commitment to the themes of social responsibility, accessibility and inclusiveness. The invitation-only opening night is dedicated to the city. In agreement with the City of Milan, a portion of the tickets is reserved for those segments of the population that find it most difficult to access Milanese cultural life as well as for charities. On the podium Matthias Pintscher, one of the most interesting conductors of the new generation, accompanied by Ilya Gringolts, among the top virtuosos of the violin conducts a fascinating musical program featuring Stravinsky's Le Chant du Rossignol , Mar'eh Concerto for violin and orchestra written by Pintscher himself, Masques et bergamasques, Suite for orchestra by Fauré and Debussy's La Mer.
