School\nin Trieste. He has directed numerous concerts both in Italy and abroad,\npreferring exchanges and collaborations between the many choral realities he\ncame into contact with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With\nhis choirs he tackles songs ranging from sacred polyphony to secular music,\npassing through the popular music of yesterday and today, with particular\nattention to music and works by contemporary Italian and foreign composers, and\nmore specifically, taking an interest in contemporary classical music Anglo-\nSaxon and American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017 he founded the “Dominant Ensemble”, a youth chamber orchestra with which, in a short time, he faced important pages of author’s music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With\nthe same training he directed pages of contemporary music in absolute first\nperformance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2018 he debuted with the ensemble “Pianissimo” at the auditorium of the University of Fine Arts in Tirana (Albania) with music by Telemann and Jenkins together with the violist Sara Zoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “…\nThe conductor Francesco Castellana showed that he was gifted and accurate\nmusician when doing his duty …” Nestor Kraja \u2013 OPUSALB -24\/1\/2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nsame year he conducted the first ever performance of “Requiem” for\nchoir, solos and symphony orchestra by the Trieste composer Marco Podda,\nenjoying great success with the public and critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “…\nthe waves of sound that Podda imagined for the meeting with Sister Death follow\neach other in a climate of serene acceptance and are expertly governed by the\ndirector Francesco Castellana who has the ability to put himself at the service\nof text and music .. . “Rino Alessi – BELLA UNA VITA ALL\u2019OPERA- 5\/30\/2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n In\nthe same year he was “production assistant” for the Iron Maiden,\nSteven Tyler and David Byrne concerts organized by Azalea \/ Zenit Concerti. In\naddition to the conducting activity, he carries out an intense work of\ntranscription and arrangement with particular interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0Francesco Castellana, in addition to having directed in numerous churches in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, has performed in important theaters such as the Teatro Stabile Il Rossetti, the Miela Theater, the Orazio Bobbio Theater, the Tripcovich Hall, the Slovenian Stable Theater, the Mahler Hall of Dobbiaco, the Pacher House and the Brunico Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does it mean to be a music conductor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nrole of the conductor is not only to set up strongly stylized gestures that\nrespect a pre-established code, through which the execution of an instrumental\npiece is coordinated: this would limit the figure of the director to a sort of\n“vigilant” of the music, which makes the way that the various parts\ndo not collide. The real importance of the conductor lies in making the way\nthat the formal design and the expressive implications of music are\nperceptible: it must therefore take into account the historicity of the piece,\nits location, and what it wants or does not want to highlight. The conductor is\ntherefore first and foremost a profound connoisseur of the score, he takes care\nof knowing its secrets, of deeply understanding the message underlying the\nmusic and how to make it stand out: the orchestra conductor is required – as\nwell as to the musicians – a total presence to the music, a punctual and deep\nconcentration on which all the orchestras must be able to rely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What musician know but others no?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n People\ndon’t usually go to the theater Or rather, several people attend the concert\nhalls but the vast majority have no idea what it means to attend a concert by\nan orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes,\nhowever, it can happen to come across by chance in a situation of that type, or\nsimply to watch the New Year’s concert on TV, and here is the most classic of\nconsiderations: but what is the conductor?! That implies a common thought: it\nis there because it has to be there, but so nobody looks at it. He stands\nthere, waving his arms, and who knows what he is thinking. Actually, the\nconductor serves all right! He doesn’t think of anything else, he works on the\nscore intensely, carefully: it must be prepared exactly as the musicians must\nbe, because the orchestra is a real team game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You worked with the young violist Sara\nZoto to many times, how you find it? Tell us about the experiences with her and\nother projects\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Music\nconnected me with Sara three years ago. She was the violist of the quartet i\nchoose to play with my choir Panta Rhei. After we started to make other\nprojects together, and I really appreciate how we work together! We did too\nmany concerts and other projects are coming soon, i think now is a little bit\nearly to talk, haha \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BIOGRAPHY Born in Trieste in 1997, he began his first musical studies at the age of eleven at the middle school with musical address \u201cL.
