For the 2025 Christmas Concert, the Orchestra della Toscana welcomes audiences to the Teatro Verdi in Florence for a special evening marked by lightness, expressive intensity, and grand classical architecture. On the podium will be the young and brilliant Nicolò Jacopo Suppa, already acclaimed in Italy's leading theaters for his clear, communicative, and passionate conducting. Alongside him will be cellist Ettore Pagano, one of the most promising figures on the new instrumental scene, known for his warm timbre and instinctive yet rigorous interpretation.

The program opens with the lively irony of the overture to Rossini's Il signor Bruschino, followed by Tchaikovsky's Andante cantabile, a compact and intense piece from the first string quartet and reworked by the composer himself, where the cello becomes a lyrical and profound voice.

The program continues with the Suite italienne No. Stravinsky's Symphony No. 1, a refined homage to eighteenth-century taste, features themes often attributed to Pergolesi, reinterpreted with a modern spirit and neoclassical lightness. The grand finale is Mozart's monumental Symphony No. 41, "Jupiter," an absolute pinnacle of balance and inventiveness, perfect for ending the year with energy, grace, and wonder.
