Biography
Showing the Discogs bio
Orchestra of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. This translates as the Florence May Festival Orchestra (Florence being the city and May being the month).
The orchestra was founded in 1928 by Vittorio Gui, as the Stabile Orchestrale Fiorentina, with its home the Teatro Comunale di Firenze. It took its current name in 1933, when the Festival was instituted. After Gui, Mario Rossi became music director in 1937. Then, after the war, Bruno Bartoletti was appointed to the post. From 1969-1981, the position was given to Riccardo Muti, then to Zubin Mehta, who became Principal conductor from 1985, and then to Fabio Luisi, who became Principal conductor from 2018 to 2019. Zubin Mehta was made Honorary Conductor for life in 2006.
For the chorus, please use Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.
