Principal Conductor at the Deutsches Nationaltheater und Staatskapelle Weimar and Music Director of VoceAllOpera, Marco Alibrando joins the SOI Chamber Orchestra this July for a scintillating programme at the NCPA’s iconic Experimental Theatre. The evening opens with St. Paul’s Suite, Op. 29 No. 2 by Gustav Holst, written for the students of St Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith, London, where Holst served as “Music Master” from 1905 to 1934.

Alibrando also conducts String Symphony No. 7 in D minor by Felix Mendelssohn, one of the remarkable string symphonies composed between the ages of 12 and 14, inspired by the Classical traditions of Joseph Haydn, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The programme also features a celebrated tenor performing beloved Italian vocal works by Gastaldon, Brogi, Di Lazzaro, Denza, Verdi, and Rossini, bringing the warmth, romance, and charm of the Italian vocal repertoire to Mumbai. Rich in lyricism and youthful energy, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of chamber orchestral and vocal music.

Box office opens on 9th June (Friends of the SOI & NCPA Members) and 15th June (Public)
