Orchestra Le Nove
Valerie Steenken is the concertmaster of the Spanish National Orchestra. At the same time, the young German musician has an active solo and chamber music career throughout Europe.
Asier Polo is one of the most well-known and respected Spanish cello soloists and teachers in the world. He is currently a professor at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana.
Yuram Ruiz, conductor and cellist, has been passionately and skillfully leading the Orchestra Le Nove since its first concert. His extensive experience with both youth and professional orchestras has shaped his conducting style, which is both energetic and precisely harmonious.
The Orchestra Le Nove is managed and made up of young musicians, music students, and professionals. From 2024 to 2025, it will present Brahms’ four symphonies and other works. The Brahms Project is the continuation of the "Le Nove di Beethoven" series, which culminated at the LAC in Lugano in 2023 with the performance of the "Ninth Symphony."
