Orchestra Unimi

About Orchestra UniMi

Founded in 2000 the Orchestra UniMi has become – under its Music Director Alessandro Crudele – one of the leading orchestras in Milan, representing a new venture in the Italian music scene.

Nowadays the orchestra works regularly with internationally acclaimed conductors and soloists such as Petr Altrichter, John Axelrod, Paul Badura-Skoda, Kolja Blacher, Mario Brunello, Natalie Clein, Enrico Dindo, Stefan Dohr, Ingrid Fliter, Wenzel Fuchs, Bernhard Güller, Viviane Hagner, Martin Helmchen, Karl Leister, Paul Mann, Albrecht Mayer, Isabelle Moretti, Gerhard Oppitz, Roberto Paternostro, Vadim Repin, Fazil Say, Ragna Schirmer, Bojan Suđić, Sergio Tiempo, Bramwell Tovey, Milan Turkovic and Lilya Zilberstein, just to mention a few.

I had the greatest pleasure to collaborate with the Orchestra UniMi in September 2014, at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, as part of a CultureALL Association event. Having heard them previously in a concert, I was impressed by their musicianship. After our rehearsals and concerts, I became more than simply a conductor of this orchestra, but also a great fan. (…) I am proud of our success together, and I do hope we will have the opportunity to make music again in the future.
