Aperi-Symphony - Haydn & Prokof’ev

On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM at Sala Centofiori, the concert-lecture with aperitivo by the Orchestra Senzaspine will take place.

Program:

• Joseph Haydn – Symphony No. 99
• Sergei Prokofiev – Symphony No. 1 “Classical”

Conductor: Maestro Tommaso Ussardi

In this edition of Aperi-Symphony, the Orchestra Senzaspine pairs Haydn’s Symphony No. 99 with Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony to explore continuities, quotations, and breaks within the symphonic language.

Symphony No. 99 represents one of the peaks of Classical-era writing; Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony revisits its forms and style, reinterpreting them through a modern sensibility. The concert-lecture alternates explanations with live music, offering listening tools to understand similarities, differences, and compositional choices, all within an informal and accessible setting.
