The Osesp 2023 Season – Without Borders begins on Thursday (2) and continues until Saturday (March 4), at Sala São Paulo, with the stage full of music: Osesp, Osesp Choir, Osesp Academic Choir, Children’s Choir of Osesp, Coral Paulistano, Swedish contralto Anna Larsson and conductor Thierry Fischer will perform Symphony No. 3 by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler; the following week, still with Fischer on the podium, our Orchestra receives the Italian-German violinist Augustin Hadelich (from 09 to 11) to show a program with works by Mozart, Ligeti (celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth) and Sibelius (his Sinfonia No. 5).
Throughout the month of March, Osesp will also play under the baton of Frenchman Louis Langrée (16th to 18th); with conductor Marc Albrecht on the podium and pianists Lucas and Arthur Jussen as guest soloists (23rd to 25th); and under the baton of Sir Richard Armstrong, in concerts that will also have the talented cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason as a guest (March 30th to April 1st) – opening the Cello in Focus series.
And, on March 26th, it is the Osesp Choir that begins its series of five recitals this Season, and takes to our stage conducted by Thomas Blunt and with guests such as Erika Muniz (soprano), Ricardo Ballestero (piano) and Gabriel Levy (accordion), among others.
The month of March will also feature four dates reserved for the free Morning Concerts series. They are: São Paulo Philharmonic Pops Orchestra (March 5); Orquestra Sinfônica de Sorocaba (March 11th; our Osesp conducted by Thierry Fischer and guest appearances by the Osesp Choir, the Osesp Academic Choir, the Osesp Children’s Choir and the contralto Emily Alves (March 12th); and the Brasil Jazz Sinfônica (March 19) The concerts always take place at 11 am, and tickets are distributed on the Monday before the presentations, on the Osesp website.
It is worth remembering that Osesp’s performances at Sala São Paulo on March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st will be broadcast live on the Orchestra’s YouTube channel, continuing our Digital Concerts project.
