Maestro Vitali Alekseenok – making his florentine debut - leading the Orchestra and Choir of the Maggio will take the podium for the symphonic-choral concert that closes the Winter Season of Theater.

The concert therefore opens with “Ricercata”, Fugue for 6 voices from "Musikalisches Opfer" BMW 1079 by Johann Sebastian Bach in the orchestration of Anton Webern which almost constitutes an appropriation made by the musician in relation to Bach's music; the peculiar technique of this instrumentation is connected to Webern's compositional technique: the Musikalisches Opfer belongs to the last period of Bach's life, when the author, aware of the out-of-dateness of his choices with respect to the affirmation of the new galant style, always went more focusing one's attention on the potential of contrapuntal science.
