About
Assistant to Kent Nagano
at the OCNE
Federico Bresciani is an Italian conductor whose artistic work focuses particularly on nineteenth-century repertoire, historically informed performance and the relationship between historical research and contemporary orchestral practice. His work on the podium grows out of the meeting point between research, extensive orchestral experience and a strong interest in sound, flexibility of phrasing and direct communication with musicians.
He is co-founder, Artistic Director and Conductor of Nie | Romantyczni in Gdańsk, Poland's first orchestra dedicated to nineteenth-century repertoire on period instruments. With the ensemble, Bresciani explores the sound world and expressive language of Romantic music, with a particular focus on the rediscovery of Polish repertoire. Its programmes have included works by Moniuszko, Paderewski, Noskowski and Żeleński, approached through historical sources and performance practices while remaining firmly directed towards contemporary audiences.
