Alpesh Chauhan is an internationally-appreciated conductor who was made conductor of the Toscanini Philharmonic in Parma at the young age of 27, and now conducts the Birmingham Opera Company. He worked extensively to make classical music and opera accessible to a larger audience. The programme for his upcoming Fenice concert opens with Mendelssohn’s Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt, a translation of the sea’s motions and silences into music, and goes on with Milhaud’s Le boeuf sur le toit, inspired by Brazilian sound.
