Conductor Daniele Gatti, who has been one of the MCO’s Artistic Partners since 2015, has been appointed the orchestra’s Artistic Advisor. In this new role, Daniele Gatti will work with MCO musicians to shape the orchestra’s artistic profile, as well as develop projects and programmes that will be performed several times throughout each season. 

Daniele Gatti and the MCO are currently on a tour that concludes a complete cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies, with concerts in Torino, Ferrara, Bergamo and Brescia. This Beethoven cycle, which has taken place over two seasons and four tours, received special mention as one of the projects for which Daniele Gatti was awarded the prestigious Franco Abbiati Prize 2016 by the Associazione Nazionale Critici Musicali.

Daniele Gatti first became acquainted with the MCO through a production of Alban Berg’s Lulu at the Wiener Festwochen in 2010. In the past few seasons, he has led the orchestra in such major projects as a memorial concert for Claudio Abbado at the Dresden Music Festival 2014, as well as concerts at the Lucerne Festival in August 2014 and August 2015. 

Daniele Gatti and the MCO will continue to perform their Beethoven cycle in the seasons leading up to 2020, which marks the composer’s 250th birthday. They will also embark on a Schubert cycle, pairing Schubert’s symphonies with works from the Second Viennese School, as well as present staged opera productions.
