New Year's Concert - Filarmonica Marchigiana Orchestra

A toast in music for the new year in Osimo

The New Year's Concert of the Filarmonica Marchigiana Orchestra is one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of festivities in the Municipality of Osimo, an elegant hilltop town in the province of Ancona, in the Marche region. Every year, in the first days of January, the historic Teatro La Nuova Fenice opens its doors to welcome the public for an evening that combines the refinement of great symphonic music with the festive atmosphere of the start of the year.

FORM, the orchestra of the Marche

The protagonist of the concert is the FORM - Filarmonica Marchigiana Orchestra, one of the thirteen recognized Concert-Orchestral Institutions in Italy and the main symphonic ensemble of the region. FORM carries out its activities in dozens of theaters in the Marche throughout the season, and the traditional New Year's Concert sees it engaged not only in Osimo but also in other cities such as Fabriano and Jesi, with a program designed to be accessible and engaging.

A program between opera and Viennese waltzes

The concert format follows the great tradition of European New Year's concerts: a brilliant itinerary that alternates overtures, famous opera arias, and the exciting waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family. The program includes pieces by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Bellini, Mozart, Dvořák, and Suppé, alongside the unmissable Viennese pieces like 'The Blue Danube'. Experienced conductors take turns on the podium, and solo voices, sopranos, and baritones perform on stage, capable of enhancing Italian and international operatic repertoire.

The Teatro La Nuova Fenice

The setting for the concert is the Teatro La Nuova Fenice, Osimo's main theater, overlooking Piazza Guglielmo Marconi. Its welcoming hall and refined acoustics make it the ideal place to host a full symphony orchestra, offering spectators a high-level listening experience just a stone's throw from the historic center of the city.

An event for everyone

Thanks to a policy of affordable tickets and discounts for students and schools, the FORM's New Year's Concert is designed as an event open to everyone, including families and young people who want to discover classical music. It is an elegant and engaging way to start the year in the name of culture, in one of the most charming art cities of the Marche.
