TURIN'S SYMPHONY
MUSIC, ART AND MORE
The history of the "Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai" goes back to 1931, when the new public radio authority founded its first symphony orchestra in Torino, later joined by orchestras in Roma, Milano and Napoli. Over the years, the various orchestras have been directed by all the major conductors of the day, from Vittorio Gui to Wilhelm Furtwängler, Herbert von Karajan, Antonio Guarnieri, Igor Stravinskij, Leopold Stokowski, Sergiu Celibidache, Carlo Maria Giulini, Mario Rossi, Lorin Maazel, Thomas Schippers, Zubin Mehta and Wolfgang Sawallisch.
Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti and Giuseppe Sinopoli have all made important debuts with the four orchestras.
In 1994 the four orchestras were merged in Torino. The new "Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai" (OSN Rai) made its official debut with Georges Prêtre and Giuseppe Sinopoli.
The OSN Rai often performs symphony and chamber concerts in the major cities and the most important festivals in Italy. It is a regular guest at MITO SettembreMusica and at Biennale di Venezia, and makes a number of important appearances abroad.
