FLORIDA SUMMER STRINGS 2026

A MUSICAL JOURNEY SHAPED BY A UNIQUE ARTIST

This festival program unfolds under the artistic direction of Lorenzo Turchi Floris—pianist, composer and conductor—whose rare combination of roles brings exceptional unity and artistic vision to the performance. Under his leadership, the Musicfor Americas String Orchestra performs as a single expressive voice, distinguished by refinement, vitality and stylistic versatility.

The program offers a rich panorama of the string repertoire, spanning the luminous elegance of Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings, the intimate lyricism of Tchaikovsky’s Nocturne, the poetic beauty of Saint-Saëns’ The Swan, and the evocative cinematic sound world of Morricone. As a composer, Turchi Floris also presents his own Tempo di Concerto for piano and strings, leading the ensemble from the keyboard in a work that combines virtuosity with an engaging dialogue between soloist and orchestra.

Four distinguished soloists—Charlotte Orcel, Barbara Kammer, Adele Napoli and Ilaria Altan Calabrò—bring their individual artistry to a program that balances lyricism, brilliance and rhythmic energy, culminating in Saint-Saëns’ dazzling Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso and the vibrant dances of Warlock’s Capriol Suite.
