Philharmonic Orchestra of Fenice

Finality

The Association Orchestra Filarmonica del Gran Teatro la Fenice di Venezia executes its own activity in concordance with Consiglio di Amministrazione della Fondazione Teatro La Fenice, intending the promotion and diffusion of music, especially the symphonic genre, regionally, nationally and internationally. This is executed with total autonomy, and always in the pursuit of a high artistic-musical prestige.

For that purpose Filarmonica realizes its own seasons of concerts in La Fenice Theatre and develops contextually intense relationships with multiple cultural actualities for the promotion of its own activity in Italy and foreign countries, availing of the collaboration of prestigious orchestra leaders and soloists famous all over the world.

Attention is referenced to the new generations, both keeping a tight contact with viewers that are still in school, that is to say the tomorrow’s public, and dedicating attention to the professional growth of talented young people that are starting to take their first steps in the difficult world of music.

President

Currently the role of President is being performed by the Commendatore Luciano Guerrato, owner of the namesake society, while the President Onorario is Professor Umberto Veronesi.
