The Department of Music will be joined by Dario Marcellari for a workshop with the UMBC Symphony Orchestra on Tuesday October 8 in the Earl and Darielle Linehan Concert Hall. He will conduct part of the rehearsal and work on repertoire the orchestra will perform later in the year.
Since 2006, Mr Macellari has conducted chamber orchestras in the Rome area. In 2010 and 2011
he cooperated with the ‘La Sapienza’ University of Rome leading many notable performances of
the MuSa Brass Ensemble and the MuSa Orchestra. Particularly notable was the concert of the
‘Musica a Roma nell’Ottocento’ project. This was organised by the University’s department of
History of Music, and Mr Macellari has conducted the ‘Diego Carpitella’ Choir in works by Mozart,
Donizetti, and Liszt, written for choir and strings.
In 2014 Mr Macellari made his debut in Bulgaria at the Varna Opera House with which he
inaugurated a cooperation as a guest conductor that arrives until today. In Italy he worked with the
Sanremo Symphony Orchestra and the Roma Tre Orchestra. In 2017, with a production of Verdi’s
Il trovatore at the Varna Opera House, he inaugurated his commitment in the operatic repertoire.
