THE ORCHESTRA
With its more than 40 elements, La Filharmonie flexibly faces symphonic music, chamber music, music theatre, ballet and new forms of artistic expression.
La Filharmonie is among the seven Instrumental Youth Ensembles recognised and supported by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, and it won the Smart&Coop contest 2017 supported by Fondazione CR Firenze and Legacoop Toscana as best cultural start-up within the territory. During the Seasons, La Filharmonie has established artistic and institutional collaborations with some of the major Italian establishments such as Comune di Firenze and Campi Bisenzio, Città Metropolitana di Firenze, Fondazione Accademia dei Perseveranti, Nuovo Balletto di Toscana, Università degli Studi di Firenze, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa, Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Gabinetto Scientifico-Letterario G.P. Vieusseux, G.A.M.O., Associazione Compositori Musica per Film and Festival Estate Regina di Montecatini Terme.
La Filharmonie Orchestra is managed by the Association of the same name. Giulio Arnofi is the Artistic Director, Nima Keshavarzi is the Music Director and Conductor, and M° Roberto Abbado is the host conductor and honorary artistic consultant.

La Filharmonie is a sharing gesture, which aims at offering a variegated artistic offer, constantly in dialogue with its audience. It is an act of democracy: each member evenly participates in sharing and widening the richness of the Association. It is a bold gesture: each member owns the idea that guides the Association and faces the challenges of the current artistic landscape.
