The Chamber Orchestra of New York, Salvatore Di Vittorio, Music Director, will present Bach, Rossini & Schubert’s 5th, a concert on Thursday, February 11 – 7:30 PM at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, 57th Street at Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. Violin soloist will be Irene Abrigo, Chamber Orchestra of New York’s Respighi Prize 2015 winner.
CONY will perform Rossini’s La Scala di Seta Overture, J.S. Bach’s Air, from Orchestral Suite No. 3, the New York Premiere of Dirk Brossé’s violin concerto Black, White and In Between with soloist Irene Abrigo, Vaughan Williams’ Burley Heath (U.S. Premiere) and Schubert’s Symphony No. 5.
Irene Abrigo will make her Carnegie Hall and New York debut as soloist with this performance. In 2015 she was in residence at Keshet Eilon Music Center in Israel, playing concerts and attending masterclasses with great teachers, such as Ashkenazi, Rashkowsky, Kopec, Gluzman, Munteanu and others. In 2014 she was a finalist with the Mendelssohn E minor Concerto at the most important Italian National Violin Competition Città di Vittorio Veneto, and semifinalist in China for the Alice and Schoenfeld International Competition.
She has performed as soloist with the Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino OFT, the Orchestra Sinfonia di Rivoli OSR, the Orchestra Pressenda di Alba, the Orchestra Regionale della Valle d'Aosta, the Orchestra Regionale del Piemonte, Circuito Musica Ensemble, Orchestra Classica di Alessandria, Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto and the Klaipéda Chamber Orchestra. She has also performed at such concert halls as Tonhalle of Zurich, Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Philarmonie in Berlin, Opera House in Tel Aviv and CRR in Istanbul.

More about the concert at http://chamberorchestraofnewyork.org/bachrossinischubert/.
Chamber Orchestra of New York was founded in honor of Ottorino Respighi - the preeminent early twentieth century Italian composer whose compositions bridge the classical and modern traditions. The orchestra’s programming presents great works of the 20th and 21st centuries, including film scores and rarely performed gems, alongside ancient music. For more about them, visit http://www.chamberorchestraofnewyork.org/.
A native of Italy, Salvatore Di Vittorio has achieved international recognition as a composer and conductor, hailed by Luigi Verdi of the prestigious Philharmonic Academy of Bologna, as a “lyrical musical spirit, respectful of the ancient Italian tradition…and an emerging leading interpreter of the music of Ottorino Respighi.” He gained considerable attention with his orchestration and completion of Ottorino Respighi’s rediscovered first Violin Concerto (in A Major), a commission he received from Respighi’s family descendants and archive curator. Much more about him at http://www.chamberorchestraofnewyork.org/music_director.html.
