Roberto Alagna
Upcoming / First Single is out now!

60
by Roberto Alagna, Morphing Chamber Orchestra, Giorgio Croci

Accompanied by the Morphing Chamber Orchestra conducted by Giorgio Croci, the singer presents a program that reflects his image: one of a communicative passion, an insatiable taste for exploring different repertoires and styles, from French opera (Gounod, Massenet, Thomas, Adam), Italian and Neapolitan (Verdi, Leoncavallo, Pergolesi), German (Wagner, Flotow), Polish (Moniuszko), or Russian (Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov) to Italian and French songs, including English and South American crossover ... not to mention some surprises, for this is the art of the inimitable tenor!

Brazil Tour

Morphing celebrates its success on tour in Brazil

The Morphing Chamber Orchestra has landed back in Europe after a successful 4-city Brazilian tour with pianist Álvaro Siviero, where they performed Viennese classics by Mozart, Kreisler and Strauss and Chopin’s Concerto no. 1. The tour was the result of a long-standing collaboration between Mr. Siviero and MCO artistic director Tomasz Wabnic and they are already preparing for upcoming projects! Up next is a concert at the Manggha Japanese Museum of Art and Technology in Krakow, Poland on the 18th September. Mr. Wabnic looks forward to bringing Chopin back to his homeland and reciprocating the same friendship and hospitality to Mr. Siviero in Europe!

Who We Are

Founded in 2006 by artistic director Tomasz Wabnic- violinist, violist, as well as arranger - Morphing Chamber Orchestra has stayed true to the philosophy of ensemble playing. Its players are young, diverse, and award-winning artists from around the world, who all came to Vienna to perfect their musical skills. Their alert playing and outstanding qualities are paired with an acute sense of style which enables them to excel at a range of genres. The Metropolitan Opera, Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, music labels Aparté & Sony Classical and the World Economic Forum: these are just a few of the important institutions that put their trust in the MCO. Whether it's a concert, a recording or a major ceremony, the MCO is a first-class chamber music partner for any occasion. Opera stars Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna and Andreas Scholl, American jazz icon Bobby McFerrin and composer Arvo Pärt have also opted for the cosmopolitan Vienna-based ensemble.

"Vienna Morphing Orchestra is a small orchestra with a big spirit. They were great to work with." Bobby McFerrin

Achievements

The ensemble’s artistic achievements have been recognized by no less than four nominations for the OPUS Klassik Award 2023 with the album Stabat Mater, featuring works by Arvo Pärt. Nominations have been announced in the categories of “orchestra of the year” & “opera recording of the year”, furthermore Tomasz Wabnic has been nominated for “conductor of the year” and Andreas Scholl as “vocalist of the year”.

Releases

Tomasz Wabnic and the MCO have their finger on the pulse with their latest releases. 2019 saw the launch of their debut album with Sony: 'Desire', featuring the stratospheric voice of Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak, which received critical acclaim and was named 'Best Foreign Album' at the Fryderyk Awards in Poland in 2021. Kurzak's next album, 'Mozart Concertante', features an unusual mix of arias as well as Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante with soloists Tomasz Wabnic and Yuuki Wong - an example of the MCO style of soloist-led music-making. 'Stabat Mater' is dedicated to the works of the famous contemporary composer Arvo Pärt and impresses with singers Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna and countertenor Andreas Scholl. 'De Profundis' is a spiritual journey through the works of Bach and Schönberg. Further albums with Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna as well as Barno Ismatullaeva and Kévin Amiel are in the making. MCO has made recordings for various television stations (PBS TV, ORF, TVP Kultura, ARTE TV, MEZZO TV) and radio stations (OE1, radio klassik Stephansdom, Radio Classique France and Polish Radio 2). Morphing Chamber Orchestra is a partner of the Parisian label Aparté (Artistic Director: Nicolas Bartholomeé).

„Music is like a language: if you have enough love for music, you can play anything. Then style or genre is just a matter of dialect." Artistic Director Tomasz Wabnic

The orchestra, composed of fixed members all of whom are award-winning soloists from fifteen countries, has its resident series at the famous Eroica Hall of Vienna's Lobkowitz Palace has recorded widely for SONY Classical, BMG Classics, and Universal Music. Following his concept of a congenial combination of musical styles and art forms in an unusually intense rehearsal process, Tomasz Wabnic established close musical partnerships with other extraordinary artists as diverse as star soprano Alexandra Kurzak, US vocal artist Bobby McFerrin, counter-tenor legend Andreas Scholl, Canadian jazz singer Sarah Reid, the Egyptian-Australian oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros and major composers such as Arvo Pärt and Krzysztof Penderecki.

Tomasz Wabnic is also the founder of Capella Czestochoviensis and served as its artistic director from 2006 to 2012. Now the artistic director of Capella Claromontana since 2012, he leads another world-class, Early Music ensemble dedicated at unearthing lost music especially of the Polish Baroque era. Mr. Wabnic produced world- premiere recordings of several works by Daubeck and Gotschalk. The previously lost gems rediscovered by Tomasz Wabnic at the music archives of the Częstochowa monastery of Mons Clara include several works by W.A. Mozart and Joseph Haydn. In 2013 Tomasz Wabnic, together with brothers Sándor and Ádám Jávorkai, founded the Huberman String Trio. The Trio presented its critically acclaimed recording of J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations (arr. Dmitri Sitkovetsky) in 2016. Recent appearances of Mr. Wabnic with the Huberman Trio included performances at the Rheingau Musik Festival and at NOSPR Hall in Katowice. Born in Wrocław, Poland, into a family of musicians, Tomasz Wabnic received his education as a violinist and a violist at the conservatories and universities of Bydgoszcz and Poznan in the violin class of the internationally famed violinist Jadwiga Kaliszewska as well as at Vienna's Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität as a member of the highly regarded viola class of Herwig Zelle and of the chamber music masterclass of the Altenberg Trio Wien. He graduated with honours. Numerous awards and honours were bestowed on Tomasz Wabnic as a soloist and chamber musician. With his Fidelio Quartet, he was a finalist in the 2001 International Chamber Music Competition in Melbourne. Morphing: the combination of several works of music and other art forms through seamless transition, is a concept which fascinated Tomasz Wabnic since his infant days: In his parents' living room, he used to play two or three records and the radio all at the same time, with the idea of creating a new sound. Today he lives with his family in Vienna.
