Now in his seventh season as Music Director of Artis—Naples, Andrey Boreyko’s inspiring leadership has raised the artistic standard and brought a new intensity to the Naples Philharmonic. The driving force behind the continued creative growth of this multidisciplinary organization, Andrey continues to explore connections between art forms through interdisciplinary thematic programming. Significant projects during his tenure have included pairing Ballet Russes-inspired contemporary visual artworks of Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave with performances of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella and The Firebird and commissioning a series of compact pieces by composers including Giya Kancheli to pair with an exhibition featuring small, but personal works by artists such as Picasso and Calder that were created as special gifts for the renowned collector Olga Hirshhorn.
2020-21 marks Andrey’s second season as Music and Artistic Director of Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to their regular collaborations at home, last season Andrey and the orchestra performed at the Chopin and his Europe Festival, the Beethoven Easter Festival, and across Japan. Their planned engagements this season include the Warsaw Autumn Festival, Beethoven Festival, and a return to the Easter Festival.
