ROME SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Rome Symphony Orchestra was established in 2002 by the Rome Foundation and is a rare example in Europe of an orchestra that is completely privately funded. The orchestra has won wide international critical recognition, including performances in the presence of four heads of state, the Queen of Spain and the Queen of the Netherlands. The Artistic and Musical Director is Francesco La Vecchia. Leading choruses, soloists and conductors have collaborated with the orchestra and concert tours have taken it to major international venues in Asia, the Americas and Europe, with notable success in 2007 at the Berlin Philharmonic. The orchestra gives some 120 concerts a year, with 70 concerts in the official season at the Auditorium in the Via Conciliazione. Since 2003 the orchestra has played a leading part in the summer international festival Roma nel cuore in the Basilica of Maxentius in the Roman Forum. The orchestra is undertaking for Naxos a series of recordings of important compositions by Italian composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
