Andrea Molino conducts Karlsson's Melancholia in Stockholm Reviews from the World Premiere at the Royal Swedish Opera Andrea Molino has conducted with great success the World Premiere of Mikael Karlsson's Melancholia on October, 21 at Stockholm's Royal Swedish Opera. The opera with a libretto from Royce Vavrek is based on Lars von Trier's homonymous film. "The Royal Swedish Orchestra … is conducted steadily by the conductor Andrea Molino through the soundscapes with fine solo efforts, not least from the woodwinds and percussionists.", writes Edward Klingspor (Svenska Dagbladet - SvD, 22.10.2023), and Veronica Maldonado agrees: "The conductor Andrea Molino dispatches the score with efficiency, leaning into every accent and dynamic marking with ardor and occasional lyricism." (The New Criterion, 8.11.2023). "Melancholia is the coolest opera in a very long time ... visually rich, beautiful, and musically exciting.", writes Gunilla Brodrej (Expressen, 22.10.2023), and she continues: "Tightly packed hours under the direction of Andrea Molino. Sometimes it's a wistful lone clarinet, sometimes a rhythmic tutti with extra surround sound. Sometimes vibrant Verdi strings, sometimes showy dances and abysmal, swirling notes created with midi instruments." And all critics unanimously give their compliments to the whole cast: "It feels as if Mikael Karlsson from the beginning was thinking of Lauren Snouffer‘s beautifully melancholic soprano and Rihab Chaieb's stable mezzo. As well as Anne Sofie von Otter as the cynical mother from hell, a role not without humor which she really brings out.”, says Camilla Lundberg (National Swedish Television). Edward Klingspor adds: "One of the main roles is played by the Royal Swedish Opera Chorus, which brilliantly portrays the menacing planet."(Svenska Dagbladet - SvD, 22.10.2023).

Andrea Molino: Il senso del luogo – Montepulciano Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte launches video version
The Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte has launched the video version of Il senso del luogo – Montepulciano, the project presented as multimedia installation at the Fortezza Medicea in the 2022 edition of the Festival. The project springs from a fundamental intuition: that the place of an event is an integral part of the narrative content of the event itself. The five pieces of Il senso del luogo – Montepulciano, which continue the experience of The Sense of the Place – Dublin in 2020, were conceived and composed in an intimate relationship with different places and situations in the city, not in a descriptive manner (the pieces neither narrate nor represent the places) but essentially 'theatrical', in the broadest sense of the term. Marco Ferrari signed for the video, Cosma Castellucci for the sound design, and Davide Sgalippa had the artistic supervision. A special focus is given on various keyboards (played by Alessio Tiezzi and Massimiliano Cuseri) of topical places of the city such as the Teatro Poliziano and Palazzo Contucci with its historic fortepiano; the organs of the Temple of San Biagio, Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Duomo and the harmonium of the Chiesa del Gesù unite in an impossible quartet; the pianos in some private homes, in counterpoint with those in the Istituto Di Musica Henze. The project was commissioned by the Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte in collaboration with IED – Istituto Europeo di Design, Milan. more informationvideo

Andrea Molino at the Chigiana International Festival Opening Concert and World Premiere: Reviews and Reactions
On July 6 Andrea Molino has conducted the Orchestra della Toscana in the Festival's Opening Concert featuring Berio's Coro with the Coro della Cattedrale di Siena (Chorus Master: Lorenzo Donati) and Voci (Folk Songs II) with Tabea Zimmermann. A "sophisticated concert", as observes Francesco Ermini Polacci ( Il Sole 24 Ore): "There are the songs of the Sicilian tradition to innervate Voci (1984): here the protagonist is Tabea Zimmermann (…); around, Andrea Molino, at the helm of the Orchestra della Toscana integrated by the Chigiana Percussion Ensemble, carefully stitches a fabric of references and dialogues." And as for Coro, he continues: "An intercultural dialogue that extends out of all proportion like a sea, in which Molino navigates with vigor and confidence". Andrea Molino's new work La vérité, pas toute had its World Premiere on July, 14. The piece, conceived for 32 voices, 8 percussionists, 16 mobile video cameras and live electronics, "puts a strain on the quality of the Coro della Cattedrale di Siena which has to perform the work by constantly moving and singing in 32 voices with 8 percussionists and many other interventions in movement", states Lorenzo Donati. Nicola Sani, Artistic Director of the Chigiana International festival, underlines: "…the new multimedia creation by Andrea Molino enhances the path of innovation developed in these nine years of Chigiana International Festival & Summer Academy … An extraordinary work which conquers space and builds sound in space, where voices, electronic sounds, percussion and movements come together in an intermediate project: only at the Chigiana.” RAI3 TGR report

The Accademia Chigiana in Siena has announced the 100th anniversary edition of the Chigiana International Festival. The theme is "Parola" ("Word") and it focuses on the Italian composer Luciano Berio on the 20th anniversary of his death. On July 6, Andrea Molino will conduct the Orchestra della Toscana in the Festival's Inauguration Concert featuring two major works by Luciano Berio: Coro, for 40 voices and 40 instruments (with the Coro della Cattedrale di Siena Guido Chigi Saracini, Chorus Master: Lorenzo Donati) and Voci (Folk Songs II), for viola and orchestra (with Tabea Zimmermann). On July 14, La vérité, pas toute, Andrea Molino's new work, will have its World Premiere populating the extraordinary and evocative spatial dimension of the Chiesa di S. Agostino.

The title quotes a televised statement by French philosopher Jacques Lacan: "I always tell the truth. Not all, because to say it all is materially impossible, the words are missing. It is even by this impossibility that truth reaches reality." The texts are curated by a creative collective of professors and students of Aesthetics, Semiotics and Linguistics at Sapienza Università di Roma and Università degli Studi di Cassino e del Lazio Meridionale, centered around the figure of Pietro Montani, Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics at the Department of Philosophy at Sapienza.

Five stars for Andrea Molino Review of the Sydney Concert On March, 17 Andrea Molino has conducted for the first time a concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. On the programme: "New York Stories" with music by Bernstein, Ives and Gershwin, also featuring a World Premiere by Australian composer Paul-Antoni Bonetti. Molino got five stars for it from Rebecca Varidel: "Have you ever listened to Bernstein conduct Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue by any chance? This night, at the Sydney Opera House, with conductor Andrea Molino, guest pianist Simon Tedeschi, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra wins – in my humble opinion – hands down. Even over the Composer Maestro Bernstein himself. … Andrea Molino's poetic and animated conducting style was a performance of beauty in itself." (Sydney Scoop, 27.3.2023) Other critics were of the same opinion. For example Annabelle Drumm: "As an advocate for modern music Molino was the perfect choice for this program. (…) he is clearly well ahead of many other conductors. Let’s hope we see a lot more of him with the larger orchestras and opera companies around Australia. A superb curation. Bravo!" (Sydney Arts Guide, 24.3.2023) And Hugo Mathers agreed: "The iconic “wail” (as Gershwin himself described it) of the opening clarinet glissando sent a chill down the collar of every witness. From that moment, the critical play between the piano and the rest of the ensemble, captained by a muscular, masterful performance from guest conductor Andrea Molino, was a slick pairing. … (Limelight Magazine, 20.3.2023)

Lugano, April 20 – "Aspettando Manfred" in the Tracce –> project Nine commissions surround Tchaikovsky's symphony The project Tracce –> (Traces –>), conceived and accompanied by Andrea Molino as Creative Chair, culminates on April, 20 in a concert with Tchaikovsky's monumental Manfred symphony, played by the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana and conducted by Markus Poschner. Andrea Molino introduces the project in a video interview newly published by the OSI. As with the previous concerts of the two season cycle, complementary events accompany the programme, in collaboration with the OSI, the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana and the Zurich University of the Arts. This time events revolve around Lord Byron, author of the dramatic poem Manfred, the literary inspiration for the symphony. Like Tchaikovsky, Byron has travelled to Switzerland where he spent the summer of 1816 in the Villa Diodati near Lake Geneva together with friends. Among them: Mary Shelley who in this mansion wrote Frankenstein, and Polidori who here wrote The Vampyre. Thus the concert evening starts with a World Premiere by Oscar Bianchi: Alfredo for orchestra. German composer Marc Sinan contributes with his new multimedia work Seven Spirits. Additionally, seven young Swiss composers were commissioned to create chamber music featuring the villa, its gardens and its surroundings. Their works were performed and filmed on location thanks to the collaboration of the CISA in Locarno. The first one is already online. All the works were commissioned by the OSI. Tracce –> (Traces –>) is a long-term collaboration conceived around a Tchaikovsky cycle between the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana (OSI) and different local organizations and institutions and the involvement of different places as elements - not only dramaturgically but intrinsically, physically, thus creating an organic interaction between different disciplines – between music, audiovisual language and digital art. In one of the cycle's concerts, Molino's own work Chants de fragilité was created by Christian Tetzlaff (vl.) and the OSI conducted by Markus Poschner. venue: LAC, Lugano, April 20, 8:30pm

The programme starts with A System of Reality for viola solo, "… composed at the request of the violist Saša Mirkovic, to whom it is dedicated", writes Molino about his piece. "The title quotes an expression repeatedly used by James Baldwin in his "Pin Drop Speech" in 1965 at Cambridge University. The piece reflects… the tension of a particular moment (the protests following the killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis in May 2020), between the outrage at a humanly, socially and politically untenable situation and the frustration caused by the pandemic… especially for cultural professionals". Swarm, conceived for solo electric guitar and an ensemble of 16 electric guitars, all of them performed by Marc Sinan, is inspired by Molino's attraction to "complex, collective sounds" which often lead him to "musical situations in which organisms of very dense and intense sounds are composed of a very large number of small elements".

World Premiere: Il senso del luogo – Montepulciano A music video installation by Andrea Molino On July, 16 Andrea Molino's new video installation opens the festival Cantiere internazionale d'arte at Montepulciano. The music video installation consists of five pieces "which continue", as Molino states, "the experience of The Sense of the Place – Dublin in 2020, (and) were conceived and composed in an intimate relationship with different places and situations in the city." As for the Dublin project, Molino's basic idea is "that the place where an event takes place is an integral part of the narrative content of the event itself. As I like to say, the context is part of the text." In the new piece, a special focus is given on instruments, especially "pianos" or "keyboards" of "topical places of the city such as the Teatro Poliziano and Palazzo Contucci with its historic fortepiano; the organs of the Temple of San Biagio, Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Duomo and the harmonium of the Chiesa del Gesù unite in an impossible quartet; the pianos in some private homes, in counterpoint with those in the Hans Werner Henze Institute of Music". Consequently, keyboard instrumentalists Massimiliano Cuseri and Alessio Tiezzi are part of the project. The installation, commissioned by the Cantiere in collaboration with Istituto Europeo di Design (Milan) will be on view throughout the festival and freely accessible later on different digital platforms. venue: July 16, 2022, 4 PM – Montepulciano, Fortezza: opening video installation open from July 16 to 30, 2022 more information

Two prizes for Maderna-CD conducted by Molino Live recording of the 2009 World Premiere of Requiem The World Premiere of Bruno Maderna's Requiem, one of the outstanding events in La Fenice's season 2009/10, was conducted by Andrea Molino and broadcast by RAI Radio 3, the live recording was published by the Italian label Stradivarius. The recording is not only an important addition to Maderna's early oeuvre, but also has great significance for the 20th century repertoire in general. "The live recording of an authentic event has been released: the first performance of Maderna's early masterpiece, the "Requiem" that he had begun during the war and completed in 1946. The Fenice ensembles led with confidence and intelligence by Andrea Molino proved worthy of the demanding task….", writes Paolo Petazzi on the occasion of the CD-release in Classic Voice, May 2022. In the meantime it has been awarded two important CD prizes: 5 Stelle by the Italian journal Musica and the French Diapason d'or. The accompanying article in Musica states that "Molino's conducting reveals his ability to give each passage what Verdi would call the 'tinta' not only of a single page but of the whole score". And Diapason d'or cites, as one of the reasons for its decision that "… the testimony that reaches us from its world premiere at La Fenice … captivates with a striking intensity: everything is heartfelt … The minute's silence that precedes the applause reflects the deep emotion that emanates from a requiem that is neither nostalgic nor modernist." extracts

...sì, sì, si sente qualcosa che c'è! World Premiere of Molino's new clarinet piece in Radio stART project Corale per Pasolini On the night of 21-22 March, Radio stART's Clocks and Clouds has broadcast a collaborative project initiated by Stefano Taglietti to mark the 100th anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini's birth. Andrea Molino took part to this project with a new piece for solo clarinet for the project: …sì, sì, si sente qualcosa che c'è!. It was recorded by Francesco Darmanin in collaboration with the Ensemble degli Intrigati, Montepulciano. The title is a quote from Pasolini's movie Che cosa sono le nuvole: „It was one of those experiences that, in a single moment, suddenly make you realise the essence of human existence; one of those moments of pure happiness in which a word seems to correspond perfectly with reality," Molino says. "But, shhh... you don't have to name it, because as soon as you name it, it's gone." ...sì, sì, si sente qualcosa che c'è! is available on Vimeo and on Molino's homepage.

Reviews: Molino conducts Le nozze di Figaro Mozart Revival at the Sydney Opera, January 27, 2022
Molino has conducted Opera Australia's production by David McVicar in January at the Sydney Opera House. "Italian conductor Andrea Molino’s reading of the score honored the timeless humor of Mozart’s conception right from the very opening. With cutting staccato cadential figures and a comedy of exaggerated sforzato accents, the interpretation was a perfect homage", stated Gordon Williams in Opera Wire, 11.2.2022. And colleagues were of the same opinion: more reviews!

Molino conducts Mozart at the Sydney Opera Revival of Opera Australia's Le nozze di Figaro It is a kind of debut for Molino: for he has conducted operas of the 20th century like King Roger, Wozzeck, The Nose, Bluebeard's Castle, and 19th century – Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Bizet –, many of them at Opera Australia. But now, for the first time, a score from the 18th century is on the podium of Sydney Opera, and that of Le nozze di Figaro, a work that Molino particularly appreciates. The work is not only close to his heart musically but also politically. Mozart wrote his opera at the time when the desire to alleviate the suffering of the poor and the lowest strata of society was born in Europe. Molino, as a composer, has also repeatedly dealt with current social and political topics in his works. "Even with a time gap of over 200 years, the criticism of the ruling class is still clearly tangible in Mozart's work," says Molino in an extensive interview. "Figaro is messing with his boss" – and social conditions are negotiated on a private level, but are integrated into the political one. Molino has further discussed his relationship with the work in a conversation with Limelight Magazine. The premiere is the revival of a historically accurate production by David McVicar that sets the play in the 17th century – even in Mozart's time, according to the director, the work was not necessarily presented in a contemporary setting. On stage is an exquisite cast of singers including Mario Cassi (Count), Ekaterina Morozova (Countess), Tommaso Barea (Figaro) Stacey Alleaume (Susanna) and Agnes Sarkis (Cherubino), and the Opera Australia Chorus. They are accompanied by the Opera Australia Orchestra conducted by Andrea Molino. venue: Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House, January 27, 29, February 1, 3, 5, 10, 14, 16, 18 at 7pm, February 12 at 12pm

World Premiere of Maderna's Requiem conducted by Molino Reviews on the release of the Stradivarius-CD The World Premiere of Bruno Maderna's long lost Requiem (1946) in La Fenice's season 2009/10 was conducted by Andrea Molino; the live recording has been published by the Italian label Stradivarius. "I was at the concert and it was one of the most astounding and relevant I have ever attended," writes Marco Mazzoleni in his review on the cd. "The premiere performance … was one of the most important cultural operations in the recent history of music. So is this recording. It is an historical document that makes this masterpiece of the twentieth century available to everyone." Paolo Carrador, in Il Giornale della Musica, joins Mazzoleni in this opinion: "Andrea Molino's conducting succeeds in the difficult task of guaranteeing, in the face of a complex score, coherence and constant emotional tension. The orchestra, soloists and chorus are always convincing and involved; together they sign a true masterpiece. Strong and moving moments followone another … the tensions between soloists and choir in the splendid Dies Irae; the enthralling ostinato of the beginning of Domine Jesu where the rhythmic colours of the pianos can be perceived; the poetic setting, the poignant melody of the Agnus Dei; the abstract interweaving, the chasing after each other of the chorus, the soloists and the instrumental parts in a final, epic and stunning Libera me, that fades into a suspended and disquieting silence." And Jean-Charles Hoffelé writes in Clic Musique: "A moving work, it is a major addition to the sacred literature of the twentieth century, and probably the most eloquent Requiem of the last century along with those of Benjamin Britten and John Foulds. The emotion is palpable throughout the recording of the premiere, Andrea Molino exposing the ornate ceremonial, steeped in memories of the golden age of Venetian polyphonists, and the raging turba with incandescent lyricism, doing justice to this Atlantis which tells us where Bruno Maderna's singular genius came from." more information

World Premiere of Chants de fragilité with Christian Tetzlaff Molino's new work in the frame of the OSI Tracce–> project Andrea Molino's latest interdisciplinar piece is conceived for the project Tracce–>, initiated by the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano for the next two seasons. Molino is the Creative Chair of the project for the next two seasons. "The fragility of the title … is that of memory and at the same time that of sound: it is the fascinating and wonderfully complex threshold around which the instrument begins to vibrate," writes Molino in his commentary on the work. As Tracce–> is conceived as a Tchaikovsky cycle it was obvious to Molino to encompass the music of Tchaikovsky with his own composition, but: "…it was immediately clear to me, that the only legitimate way, at least for me, was to avoid trying to appropriate his sound and expressive world …". Instead, Molino uses "fragments, hints, intuitions, memories" and puts them in different contexts, as for example another main concept of the Tracce–> project, the "narrative exploration and highlighting of the places linked to Tchaikovsky's presence in Switzerland." The piece features a video shot and edited by students of the Locarno International Conservatory of Audiovisual Sciences showing the celebrated violinist Christian Tetzlaff and Robert Kowalski, the OSI's concertmaster, playing in Montreux, Clarens and at the Chillon Castle, the very places where Tchaikovsky wrote his Violino Concerto. An unfamiliar but exciting environment for Tetzlaff: "I was never in such a situation before ... the Castle is an incredible place; it's a wonderful idea, which brings me back to this piece which I play for 30 years now and didn't perform for a while, among other things because of the pandemic." The shooting in Chillon was accompanied by the Swiss national television RSI Rete Uno.
Chants de fragilité – Quatre études sur la persistance de la mémoire, for Solo Violin, 16 Violins in Echo, Live Video and Orchestra will open the OSI concert including the Violin Concerto itself and Tchaikovsky's Sympyhony N. 1, performed by Christian Tetzlaff, Robert Kowalski, 16 violinists of the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana and the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana conducted by his principal conductor Markus Poschner. venue: Lugano, LAC – Lugano Arte e Cultura, December 9, 2021, 8.30pm

World Premiere of Maderna's Requiem conducted by Molino Stradivarius publishes Live recording of the 2009 event at La Fenice Bruno Maderna's Requiem (1946), one of his earliest works, was considered to be lost until it was found in 2006 in a library in New York. The World Premiere, one of the outstanding events in La Fenice's season 2009/10, was conducted by Andrea Molino and broadcast by RAI Radio 3; the live recording of that historic evening is now published by the Italian label Stradivarius. On November 27 in Venice at the Fondazione Ugo e Olga Levi and on November 29 in Padua at the Auditorio Pollini, Andrea Molino and Veniero Rizzardi, the Italian musicologist who discovered and edited the work, could present the CD, whose publication was originally meant to celebrate Maderna's 100th birthday in 2020 but had to be postponed several times because of the pandemic. The cast includes Carmela Remigio (s), Veronica Simeoni (a), Mario Zeffiri (t), and Simone Alberghini (b), with the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro La Fenice, conducted by Andrea Molino (Chorus Master: Claudio Marino Moretti). extracts |

Andrea Molino: The Garden of Forking Paths Reports from the World Premiere at Palazzo Madama in Turin On November 9, four saxophonists of the SaXemble and four young actors moved through the streets of Turin's historic centre in the spaces of Piazza Castello, gathered in front of Palazzo Madama, entered the palace, arrived in the Gran Salone where an ensemble was playing in front of a live audience, all following a score by Andrea Molino: The Garden of Forking Paths, a project realized in the context of the 5G-Tours European program, a collaboration between the Municipality of Turin, the Fondazione Musei, RAI, TIM, Ericsson Italia and Live-U. The itinerant musicians and performers were audiovisually synchronized with each other and with the Ensemble Fiarì conducted by Marilena Solavagione in the Gran Salone, playing together live in real time thanks to the multimedia system SWARMS that Molino is developing at RAI's Centro di Ricerca in Turin. RAI TG1 national news was among the numerous media featuring the project. La Stampa's critic is clear: "The result is a spectacular artistic exhibition, where technology meets art and culture, propelling the museum into the future." (La Stampa, (09/11/2021)

Andrea Molino: The Garden of Forking Paths World Premiere at Palazzo Madama, Turin, November, 9 "The place of an event is an integral part of the content of the event itself; the context is part of the text", says Molino. This is the starting point for his new project The Garden of Forking Paths which will have its World Premiere on 9 November, in the context of the 5G-TOURS project, funded by the European Union, with musicians in and around the historic sites of Palazzo Madama and Piazza Castello in Turin. It will use, for the first time, a multimedia system that Molino is developing at RAI's Centro di Ricerca in Turin: SWARMS, as explains Molino, "is a web platform designed to allow a centralised control panel to receive and develop in real time a potentially unlimited number of audiovisual streams, coming live from different locations around the world." "The title of the project is taken from a famous short story by Jorge Luis Borges. It intends to represent both the route map that the musicians will make physically during its execution and the network of ideal and real connections and interactions that led to its realization. Technology is not only “at the service” of the artistic idea, but actively and integrally contributes to the definition of a real new artistic language, making possible a new way of conceiving a live event." Performers are the SaXemble (Zurich), four Speakers (Kyara Russo, Daniel Santantonio, Lucia Corna, Enrica Rebaudo), the Fiarì Ensemble (Torino) conducted by Marilena Solavagione, supported by the Centro di Produzione RAI in Turin under the direction of Maria Baratta.
The Garden of Forking Paths is a collaboration between the City of Turin, the RAI Research Centre, Ericsson, Fondazione Torino Musei, LiveU and TIM.

Andrea Molino is appointed the Creative Chair for Tracce –> An interdisciplinary project for the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana Andrea Molino is designated Creative Chair for the project Tracce –>, initiated by the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano for the next two seasons. Tracce –> (Traces –>) is a long-term collaboration between the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana (OSI) and different local organizations and institutions, including the Conservatorio Internazionale di Scienze Audiovisive in Locarno. The project is conceived around the Tchaikovsky cycle conducted by the orchestra's Principal Conductor Markus Poschner and intends to create a multi-layered narrative programme which springs from the necessity of rethinking and innovating the very role of an organization like a symphony orchestra as a social entity; that is, in the context of the environment and the community in which it exists. The aim is to bring into play an interdisciplinary, intermedial and innovative dramaturgy. One aspect, as Molino states, "is the focus on the theme of "travel", inspired for example by Tchaikovsky's many stays in Switzerland, and consequently the involvement of different places as narrative elements: The place where "an event takes place thus becomes part of the content of the event itself; as I like to say, the context is part of the text." Two other key elements are interdisciplinary and intermediality on the one hand and the artistic use of digital technology on the other. Demands which were already part of the conception of the successful 2019 Ludwig van Festival, also curated by Andrea Molino for the OSI. Press conference: Lugano, September 30 (before the concert) Installation: open from September, 28 more information (page 9)

Achava Festival Thüringen presents World Premiere by Marc Sinan Andrea Molino conducts Buchenwald part of GLEISSENDES LICHT Simultaneous concerts in Jena, Buchenwald, Jerusalem, and Berlin With Marc Sinan's GLEISSENDES LICHT, Andrea Molino once more conducts a World Premiere by the Turkish-German composer. The project is part of the 2021 edition of the ACHAVA Festival Thüringen in cooperation with the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Weimar and the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorials Foundation, supported by the 321-2021: 1700 Jahre Jüdisches Leben in Deutschland e. V. with funds from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. Musically, the project connects four places; near the former concentration camp Buchenwald, a boys' choir, rehearsed by Berit Walther, accompanied by the Staatskapelle Weimar conducted by Andrea Molino, sends an impulse to Jena, which the Jena Philharmonic Orchestra, together with the soloist ensemble AuditvVokal Dresden and four singers (Andreas Fischer, Katia Guedes, Johanna Krödel, Johanna Vargas), conducted by Simon Gaudenz, heighten into an oratorio. Other bridges to Jena will be built by the young Israeli actress Hadar Dimand, who will recite texts by Batstehva Dagan in Jerusalem, and the pianist Michael Wendeberg, who will play parts of Sinan's multi-location composition and other works by Mozart, Berg and Schumann on Berlin's Bebelplatz, where the book burnings once took place. From the simultaneous concerts, a multi-layered overall composition emerges through an audiovisual interweaving via livestreaming – a musical ritual of remembering. venue: Volkshaus Jena, 29 September, 20 p.m.; programme segments from Buchenwald/Weimar, Berlin and Jerusalem will be livestreamed

Molino conducts Bartók at the Sydney Opera House ABC Classic broadcast on April 11 Reviews of the Premiere of Duke Bluebeard's Castle on March 1, 2021 On March 1, Andrea Molino conducted the Opera Australia Orchestra for the Opera Australia production of Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle, at the Joan Sutherland Theatre in Sydney, with Daniel Sumegi (Duke Bluebeard) and Carmen Topciu (Judith). The live audience was delighted by the performance and the critics were equally enthusiastic. Helen Musa wrote "The opening night audience at Sydney Opera House greeted the cast of Bluebeard’s Castle with more rounds of applause than any within my living memory." (Canberra City News, 4.3.2021). Deborah Jones had much the same impression: "It’s a tremendously absorbing score that earned conductor Andrea Molino and the Opera Australia Orchestra a mighty and sustained ovation from the opening night audience." (Limelight Magazine, 2.3.2021). "A stark and dark Opera Australia production, (…) led superbly by Italian conductor Andrea Molino", wrote Steve Moffatt (Daily Telegraph, 8.3.2021), and Jeremy Eccles also paid tribute to the arrangement: "Interestingly, maestro Andrea Molino is credited as orchestra arranger as well as conductor. The Italian, who seems to be brought in for the OA's more outré work (The Nose, Wozzeck and King Roger, for example), has reduced the score to cater for the company's diminished pit orchestra. But there was little lost in its impact (…)." (Bachtrack, 2.3.2021). The performance was recorded live at the Sydney Opera House on March, 10. It will be broadcast by ABC Classic on April, 11 at 7pm in the frame of "Sunday Opera", presented by Mairi Nicolson. more information Bluebeard reviews ABC Classic

Andrea Molino: Swarm New piece for solo electric guitar and electronics World Premiere – Berlin, October 17, 2020 As part of ELEKTROPOLIS, a transmedia concert series by the Marc Sinan Company in the newly opened Spreehalle Berlin, Andrea Molino's new work Swarm will be premiered on 17 October 2020. Swarm is conceived for solo electric guitar and an ensemble of 16 electric guitars; on this occasion the ensemble is achieved through sixteen pre-produced, independent guitar voices which will be heard on 16 tracks from different locations in the room. This "swarm" only gathers for the performance of soloist Marc Sinan (electric guitar), to whom the piece is dedicated. „Molino focuses in Swarm on a sociological image“ reads the event's press communique. The simultaneity of similar but not perfectly synchronized elements and sequences creates what he calls „collective sounds“: sound organisms composed by countless small sound particles, where the single component loses its perceptual relevance in favour of a mesmerizing, immersive and multi-layered hearing experience. "Even as a child I was attracted by complex, collective sounds: The chirping of birds, the communal singing in a football stadium or at demonstrations, raindrops on a tin roof... (...) Another fascinating aspect is the way collective sounds spread through space" comments Molino on his work. The concert features two other compositions (Iva Bittová and Oguz Büyükberber). The entire programme "explores the sonic possibilities of the TRANSFORMATOR – an instrument specially developed for the Spreehalle by composer Marc Sinan together with the ambisonic and wave field synthesis specialist Johannes Scherzer from Taucher Sound". The concert series is a cooperation of the Marc Sinan Company with the Industriesalon e.V., the sound scenographers TAUCHER and the University of Applied Sciences (HTW). Supported by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds and the initiative neue musik berlin e.V. venue: Berlin, Spreehalle, 17.10.2020, 19.30 PM

Andrea Molino conducts World Premiere by Marc Sinan Am Anfang as part of Stuttgart's festival DIE IRRITIERTE STADT Andrea Molino and Marc Sinan have worked together on two previous occasions: the World Premiere of Aghet, a project in Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide and the World Premiere of Sinan's Hasretim – Journey to Anatolia were conducted by Molino (a recording has been published by ecm). The next project is on July, 22, when Andrea Molino will conduct the World Premiere of Marc Sinans Am Anfang at the Theaterhaus Stuttgart as part of the festival DIE IRRITIERTE STADT. Am Anfang is a project of the Marc Sinan Company, the Neue Vocalsolisten and the Stiftung Humboldtforum Berlin. Marc Sinan and the choreographer and performer Kettly Noël "go in search of the origins of the world and explore scientific and mythological creation stories from West Africa and Europe" and "confront traditional and religious music from Mali with contemporary European music. The narrative instrument consists of singing, performance and video art," the composer states. This is why musicians who come from very different traditions work together: Andrea Molino will conduct the avant-garde music ensemble Djiguiya Orchestra from Bamako (Mali), the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart and the Berlin Marc Sinan Company. Am Anfang is invited by the festival DIE IRRITIERTE STADT which takes place in the Theaterhaus Stuttgart and at various locations throughout the city, with performances, actions, city walks, installations and a symposium. venue: July 22, Stuttgart, Theaterhaus, 7:00 and 9:00 PM more information

Dear Ireland – I want the things Abbey Theatre's Digital Project in the Times of Corona Andrea Molino and David Moss contribute with a monologue What should Ireland write on a postcard to itself? This is one of the questions with which Ireland's National Theatre introduces Dear Ireland, a digital project launched in April/May, 2020. 50 writers have been given a commission to create a monologue, and each of them has chosen an actor to perform it. Thus, in times when direct contact between artists and the public is impossible, the dialogue between them may continue. As the project is conceived to create opportunities to hear and share Ireland’s artistic voices, most of the contributors are Irish. But there are some exceptions, including Italian composer and conductor Andrea Molino. His project I want the things was realized by David Moss. Molino and Moss have worked together many times, especially in Music Theatre projects conceived and composed by Molino like Those Who Speak in A Faint Voice, CREDO, and others. Dear Ireland is a project in the times of Social Distancing: The monologues will not be shown on stage but will be screened in four parts at 7.30pm from April, 28 to May, 1 on Abbey theatre's YouTube Channel. The turn of I want the things is on Wednesday 29 April. From May, 2 the videos will be permanently available.

The Sense of the Place – Dublin A music video series conceived and composed by Andrea Molino The place where a piece is performed as a constituent element of the composition: this is the starting point for The Sense of the Place – Dublin, a series of music videos conceived by Andrea Molino. As Molino writes in his blog; "The location where the event takes place has an aesthetic, artistic and narrative (even more than logistic) influence on the event itself. [...] The context becomes part of the text.“
Recorded in Dublin in 2019, the music videos, shot by filmmaker Christopher Ash, show Deirdre O'Leary (solo bass clarinet), performing Molino's music at various places in Dublin. The video editing as well, realized by Ash and Molino together, is notated in the score and is part of the music composition.
The Sense of the Place – Dublin is conceived in the context of the HOME project, an ongoing multi-media arts project that focuses on the international homeless crises, a production of Lundström Arts Management in collaboration with Comhairle Cathrach, Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin City Council), Dublin City Arts Office and Fingal County Council Arts Office.
Starting on January 28, the videos will be published at intervals of about 2 weeks. They will be available on Vimeo, YouTube, and on Andrea Molino's web page.

Limelight Magazine picks Wozzeck as one of the "Top Shows of 2019" Opera Australia's production was conducted by Andrea Molino Limelight, Australia's Classical Music and Arts Magazine, has picked Opera Australia's production of Berg's Wozzeck as one of the "Top Shows of 2019". The distinction is addressed especially to William Kentridge for his direction, Michael Honeyman for the title role, and to Andrea Molino who conducted the Opera Australia Orchestra: "Not only was it dazzling visually with its ever-changing projections, but it was pretty stunning musically too, with [...] conductor Andrea Molino uniting the disturbing dissonance and moments of lush beauty in a powerful reading of the complex, unsettling score."
The co-production between Opera Australia, the Metropolitan Opera, the Salzburg Festival and the Canadian Opera Company in association with the Sydney Festival premiered in the Sydney Opera House in January, 2019, and already then, Limelight's review was clear: "A stunning production, visually and musically, that tips you into a nightmarish world, though the emotion is sometimes overwhelmed."

Moscow – Tchaikovsky Concert Hall Andrea Molino conducts Clementine Margaine's Recital "Andrea Molino conducted the New Russia State Symphony Orchestra, giving the sound endless explosive vigor."

Under his baton, the New Russian State Symphony Orchestra has accompanied French mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine for her opera recital. The program focused on French romantic repertoire, with vocal and symphonic highlights from Bizet's Carmen, Massenet's Werther and Saint-Saëns' Samson and Delilah.

Now Molino reflects the event in a text entitled "Beethoven is everywhere", published on his RAI-Blog -qui non 'è perché-. The core of the Festival's concept was to highlight the role of Beethoven's music and personality in contemporary perception and in the media. Molino chose to frame Beethoven's music in the context of Mauricio Kagel's intriguing project Ludwig van, realised in 1970 on the occasion of Beethoven's anniversary. Together with the text, a video about the project is available, showing Andrea Molino in discussion with Denise Fedeli, the Artistic Director of the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana, and with its Principal Conductor, Markus Poschner. video

Two concerts will take place in the Sala Teatro LAC, the 9th Symphony will be presented as an open air event in Piazza Luini, with more than 200 choristers coming from all over the Italian part of Switzerland. But the core of the Festival's concept is to highlight the role of Beethoven's music and personality in the contemporary perception and in the media.

The Orchestra will perform a selection of Kagel's fragments during the Beethoven concerts, interacting with video projections. A multimedia installation, featuring Kagel's ironic and provocative film among other materials, will be displayed in the LAC foyer.

Andrea Molino conducts Kròl Roger at Stockholm's Royal Opera Reviews of Swedish First Performance "The Royal Swedish Orchestra has an incomparable evening under the direction of Andrea Molino," that was Bo Löfvendhal's verdict (Svenska Dagbladet, 16.3.2019) after the Premiere on March, 16 of Szymanowski's King Roger (Kròl Roger) with Andrea Molino in the pit of Stockholm's Royal Opera. His colleague Erik Wallrup (Tidskriften OPERA, 20.3.2019) was equally convinced by Molino's conducting: „The Royal Swedish Orchestra performs with wonderful energy under Andrea Molino, allowing the music to flow forward and shimmer a thousand shades, just like the (absent) mosaics in Palermo's Cathedral.” Andreas Wahlberg (Olyrix, 25.3.2019) considered that “...Andrea Molino impresses with his gift to draw a dramatic thread through the nuanced score, knowing how to prepare in advance the sudden revelations of the three acts. If each of them begins as a quite different soundscape from the previous one, Molino manages to continuously shift between different dynamics and musical patterns, which go from a Puccini- and Debussy-like post-romanticism to the dissonances of the 1920s, even highlighting the humorous passages as well as the sound and spatial effects from the pit.” And the public was equally enthusiastic, as Laura Servidei (Bachtrack, 21.3.2019) described: "The Stockholm audience responded with great warmth, paying tribute to the performers with enthusiastic cheering."

"This production is an overwhelming triumph." Andrea Molino conducts Berg's Wozzeck at the Sydney Opera House On January, 25, Andrea Molino was once more at the conductor's desk of Sydney's Joan Sutherland Theatre, this time to conduct Alban Berg's Wozzeck with staging by South African multimedia artist William Kentridge. Reviewers were once more unanimously convinced: "This production is an overwhelming triumph. The conductor, Andrea Molino, understands the score so deeply that by the third scene the musical language seemed completely natural, embracing both lyricism and disjunction comfortably.", wrote Nicholas Routley (Australian Stage Online, 26.1.2019). His colleague Jo Litson fully shares this opinion: "Musically, the production is also a thrilling, if challenging ride, with the orchestra rising to the occasion under the baton of the superb Andrea Molino who unites both the disturbing dissonance and moments of lush beauty in a powerful reading of the complex, unsettling score." (Limelight Magazine, 27.1.2019) Opera Chaser (26.1.2019) wrote: "It’s a feast of extraordinary artistic stimulation of the highest level in a new, grandly signed William Kentridge production. Conductor Andrea Molino matches Kentridge’s gestures head on with Berg’s angular, atonal musical landscape as he sculpts an ever-present tension over the rises, falls and tumbles in the score." For whoever wants to build an own opinion: the live radio broadcast of Opera Australia's production by ABC Classic is available until the end of March, 2019. more reviews radio interview with Andrea Molino (in Italian)

Andrea Molino conducts Australian Premiere of Berg's Wozzeck Staging by South African multimedia artist William Kentridge Andrea Molino will again conduct at the Sydney Opera in January/February 2019. After Kasper Holten‘s King Roger and Barrie Kosky‘s The Nose (the production was recently called "a highlight of Opera Australia’s mainstage season" in Limelight's top opera shows of 2018) Molino is again working with a major director for an important 20th century opera: on the program is the acclaimed production of Berg's Wozzeck in the staging of South African multimedia artist William Kentridge, "his most elegant and powerful operatic treatment yet", as stated by The New York Times. The cast of the Australian Premiere includes baritone Michael Honeyman in the title role and Lorina Gore as Marie. Andrea Molino conducts the Opera Australia Chorus, Opera Australia Children's Chorus and the Opera Australia Orchestra. The co-production between Opera Australia, the Metropolitan Opera, the Salzburg Festival and the Canadian Opera Company in association with the Sydney Festival was premiered with great success at the Salzburg Festival in 2017. Kentridge sets the story in a war situation and the set design by Sabine Theunissen as well as the costumes designed by Greta Goiris are visibly inspired by his characteristic charcoal drawings. The production is accompanied by a series of events. Two retrospective exhibitions will offer an insight into Kentridge's work. The Art Gallery NSW hosts an exhibition curated by the artist. Drawings, sculpture, woodcuts, kinetic theatre installation and rare vintage works can be seen at the Annandale Galleries. And finally Opera Australia's Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini is in conversation with the artist on January 22 at 7:30 PM in the Joan Sutherland Theatre.
The live recording of Wozzeck from the Sydney Opera House will be broadcast by ABC Classics FM on Saturday, February 24, at 7 PM. venue: Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House January 25 and 30, February 6, 9, 12 and 15 at 7:30 PM February 2 at 1:00 PM

Andrea Molino conducts Il Turco in Italia Reviews of the reprise at the Sydney Opera House In August, Andrea Molino returned to the Sydney Opera House for the reprise of the acclaimed 2014 production by Simon Phillips of Rossini's Il Turco in Italia. The 2018 reviews for the reprise are just as impressive as those of the premiere. "The orchestra, led by Andrea Molino, plays with as much joie de vivre as the performers on stage. Together they make this almost silly, yet musically stretching opera, a frivolous musical romp that lifts the spirits and makes life seem a lot brighter," wrote Carol Wimmers (Stage Whispers, 12.8.2018). Angus McPherson (Limelight Magazine, 11.8.2018) stated that "Chorus and orchestra are both in top form under the baton of Andrea Molino...". Bill Stephens (Arts Reviews, 13.8.2018) thought that "...The music is certainly attractive, especially when given the sparkling performance it received on this occasion by the Opera Australia Orchestra under Andrea Molino." Others spoke of the "...tasteful and stylish conducting of Andrea Molino..." (Zoltán Zsabó, Bachtrack, 13.8.2018) and said that "Australian Opera Chorus and Opera Australia Orchestra were both in fine form under the clear and expressive direction of Andrea Molino." (David Barmby, ArtsHub, 14.8.2018) more reviews

Andrea Molino conducts Rossini at the Sydney Opera House Reprise of the acclaimed 2014 production of Il Turco in Italia "She's flirtatious, audacious and unspeakably bored. He's geriatric, sycophantic and easily ignored. Add a handsome prince, a gypsy minx, and a poet in need of a plot. Put this classic Rossini in vintage bikinis and a rollicking good time we've got!" That's how Opera Australia announces the reprise of its 2014 production of Rossini's Il Turco in Italia (The Turk in Italy) – the Australian First Performance. Andrea Molino conducted this premiere in Sydney with great success: "It is musically superb. The Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra under the wickedly delightful and exuberant conducting of maestro Andrea Molino is in fine form…", stated Lynne Lancaster (Sydney Arts Guide, 2.2.2014). For the reprise, Molino returns to the Joan Sutherland Theatre, conducting all of the eight performances. The acclaimed production directed by Simon Phillips is, of course, unaltered, and Molino conducts, as for the premiere, the Opera Australia Orchestra and the Opera Australia Chorus. Paolo Bordogna is back in Sydney as the Turk Selim and leads an outstanding cast. Venue: Sydney, Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House August 10, 15, 23, 25, 28, 30 and September, 1 at 7:30 PM – August 18 at 12:30 PM more information reviews of the premiere trailer video interview with Simon Phillips (director)
