Utopia Orchestra | Teodor Currentzis | Vilde Frang

Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 8:30 PM at the Auditorium Teatro Manzoni: Currentzis in Bologna - Berg “To the Memory of an Angel” and Mahler “Titan”.

PROGRAM:

• Alban Berg Violin Concerto “To the Memory of an Angel”
• Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D major “Titan”

The legend of Teodor Currentzis was born at the foot of the Ural Mountains, where MusicAeterna took its first steps in 2004: a group selected one by one, fused into an artistic community recognized for its energy and sonic intensity. That vision gave rise in 2022 to a new creation: Utopia, a global and innovative orchestra, making its Bologna debut and marking the return of its demiurge together with Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang.

The program encapsulates the spirit of Vienna between the late 19th and early 20th centuries: on one side the tragic irony of Mahler’s “Titan”, on the other the elegy of Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto “To the Memory of an Angel”, a final tribute to Manon, daughter of Walter Gropius and Alma Mahler.

All proceeds from the concert will be donated to “Il Bosco” Social Cooperative
