Manuel Hernández-Silva returns to Argentina to conduct the Buenos Aires Philharmonic at the Teatro Colón for the second time this season. If last March he assumed the responsibility of conducting the opening concert of the season with a monograph on Brahms, on this 8th subscription concert, which will take place on Saturday, July 1, he will conduct Diario VI, by Gerardo Gandini, one of the most important Argentine composers of the 20th century, Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola —with Xavier Inchausti, violin, and Pablo Saraví, viola, as soloists—, and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. His stay in Argentina will be extended for a week to offer a concert with the orchestra in the city of Rosario.
In recent seasons, Manuel Hernández-Silva’s relationship with the Buenos Aires Philharmonic has strengthened considerably. Around these dates in 2019 he conducted, in his debut with the orchestra, two consecutive subscription programs, and he returned again in July 2022. Dvořák’s 8th Symphony, Schumann’s 2nd, Schubert’s 6th or Brahms’s 1st are some of the great symphonies that were part of his programs with the Philharmonic, along with concerts such as Saint Saëns’s Piano concerto No. 2, Beethoven’s Violin concerto No. 2 or Brahms’s Violin concerto, with soloists such as Martina Filjak, Arta Arnicane or Sergei Dogadin. Beethoven, Ravel and Berlioz are other composers whose works he conducted at the Colón, along with a world premiere by the Argentine composer Claudia Montero.
Upcoming engagements include the Praga Philharmonia at the Český Krumlov International Festival in the Czech Republic, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, the NFM Wroclaw in Poland, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra or his return to the Norwegian Arctic Philharmonic. In Spain he is expected again in the orchestras of Córdoba, Ciudad de Granada and the Symphony Orchestra of the Region of Murcia.
