The Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra (BIPO) traces a path in this concert from the horizons opened by Beethoven in the Classical era to the striking expression of Shostakovich and the unforgettable sound world of Nino Rota’s cinema. Bringing together different periods and modes of expression, the program invites the audience on a rich and immersive musical journey, exploring the relationship between music, stage, narrative, and historical transformation.
The first half features one of Beethoven’s most compelling examples of stage music, the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, alongside his Symphony no.1, which reflects the energy of his early period and his command of Classical form.
In the second half, BIPO performs Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony no.6. Completed in 1939, the work stands among the composer’s most original creations, notable for its unconventional structure that departs from traditional symphonic form. The concert concludes with Nino Rota’s La Passerella d’addio from the film 8½ (Otto e mezzo), a memorable example of the composer’s enduring contribution to the world of cinema.
