THE CONCERT WAS CANCELED DUE TO BAD WEATHER.

The Concert in Piazza Duomo is back, the free and open-air event that the Philharmonic of La Scala dedicates to its city every year. Riccardo Chailly, the orchestra's musical director, cannot be missed on the podium, accompanied by Emmanuel Tjeknavorian - a world-renowned violinist who has since settled in Milan at the helm of the Verdi Orchestra.

It is the mutual attraction between symphonic music and great cinema that hosts the evening's program. Emmanuel Tjeknavorian is solo violin for the suite from the ballet Le boeuf sur le toit op. 58 by Darius Milhaud, a triumph of carnival rhythms and colors on popular Brazilian themes, which has “Cinematic fantasy on South American motifs” in the subtitle and that Milhaud would have wanted as the soundtrack of a Charlie Chaplin film. After the extraordinary concert in December 2022, the Philharmonic returns to John Williams, with music from Schindler's List, Indiana Jones ed. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Who represents a piece of world musical and cinematographic history is certainly Nino Rota, whose suite and a selection of danceables will be performed by The Leopard by Luchino Visconti. Opening the creative energy of Lollapalooza by John Adams, musical fun based on the word that gives the title to the track: “phenomenal, extraordinary thing” in American slang.
