Milan-Parma, back and forth. The bond that unites the Lombard capital to the Emilian city is deep. Giuseppe Verdi, born in Roncole di Busseto, in the province of Parma, is closely linked to Milan, the city where he lives and works. Arturo Toscanini, born in the Oltretorrente district of Parma and Principal Conductor of the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan from 1921 until 1929. Romano Gandolfi, legendary choir conductor born in Medesano in the province of Parma and founder of the Coro Sinfonico di Milano. 
The list is long, and it will only keep growing. For now, let us celebrate this Milan-Parma partnership with an irresistible co-production that brings Maestro Claus Peter Flor to the stages of the Auditorium di Milano and the Arturo Toscanini Music Production Centre at the Parco della Musica in Parma, with a programme featuring Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony “Romantic” and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, alongside a young keyboard talent on the cusp of a brilliant career, Tom Borrow.
