The chamber orchestra I Filarmonici di Roma was founded in 1976 by its leader, prof. Guido Casarano. The ensemble has received high praise from its audiences and professional critics from its first concert onwards. It has collaborated with many renowned conductors and soloists but nowadays focuses on collaboration with violinist and conductor Uto Ughi. Together they perform music ranging from Baroque era to contemporary times. The orchestra performed at the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Respighi’s birth in Venice, at the festival Omaggio a Venezia in honour of Arthur Rubinstein and regularly collaborates with the Italian radio and television networks and recording labels (RCA Victor Red Scal, BMG-Ricordi) as well as organises concerts for humanitarian purpose. The ensemble also enchanted audiences in Canada (under the patronage of the Academy of St. Cecilia), India, Middle East, Russia and various Baltic countries.
Uto Ughi is considered to be the greatest living violinist in Italy. Apart from performing with the largest renowned orchestras, he is very active in promoting classical music culture. He is the founder of some of the largest musical festivals (Omaggio a Venezia, Omaggio a Roma, Uto Ughi per Roma) and co-founder of the Una vita per la Musica award. Among his many awards he proudly cherishes the title of Knight Grand Cross.
