Paolo Bortolameolli

Conductor, Performer

Leading Phoenix Symphony in a Russian program of Glinka, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev.

Add to my calendar

In short

Paolo Bortolameolli appears as conductor with the Phoenix Symphony in October 2026, leading a program of Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila overture, Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, and Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony. Beyond this listing, we do not have enough verified information to describe his broader career.

What to listen for

This program pairs two Russian works that both trade in sweeping melody and driving rhythm. Glinka's overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila opens the evening at a breathless pace, a short curtain-raiser built on quick string runs and brassy fanfares. Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto follows, a work known for its long, searching main theme and the sheer volume of notes asked of the soloist, building to a big, romantic close. After intermission, Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony offers a different kind of drama, opening with a broad, march-like theme and moving through a sharp-edged scherzo (a fast, energetic movement) before a finale full of motor rhythms. Listeners can expect a conductor pacing three very different kinds of momentum, from Glinka's dash to Prokofiev's grind, across a single program.
