During Alpesh’s first season at the Filarmonica Toscanini the great symphonic tradition takes centre stage, as he programmes a cycle of the Brahms symphonies and juxtaposes pillars of nineteenth-century repertoire such as Mahler’s Symphony no.1 and Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem with twentieth-century masterpieces including Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem and LutosÅ‚awski’s Concerto for Orchestra. Other highlights in 2017-18 include debuts with the Royal Philharmonic and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras, the Orchestra of Opera North, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, and with the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker in a programme featuring Bruckner’s Symphony no.4. The season also sees him return to the Philharmonia Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Symphony Orchestra, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the Orkest van het Oosten.
