Jorge Bosso

Jorge A. Bosso inaugurated the premiere of his composition *Bridges* at the opening of Dimitri Shostakovich's jubilee, overseen by Mstislav Rostropovich, at the Kremlin in Nizhny Novgorod.

He has proposed and reinterpreted numerous historical works through a fresh lens, including Debussy's Sonatas for cello/violin and piano, Ravel's Sonata Posthume, and Wagner's Albumblatt, among others, all of which have been transcribed and orchestrated for premieres by Dora Schwarzberg, Enrico Dindo, and Gavriel Lipkind.
In January 2014, DECCA released his adaptation for cello and strings of Piazzolla's *Las Cuatro Estaciones*, performed by Enrico Dindo and I Solisti di Pavia. By 2018, he published *Tangos at an Exhibition!* with his ensemble, BossoConcept, and in January 2022, Da Vinci Publishing issued a new rendition of *Las Cuatro Estaciones*, executed by Enrico Fagone and the Orchestra da Padova e del Veneto, conducted by Luis Bacalov.
Bosso has received commissions and collaborated with numerous festivals, institutions, and soloists, including Dora Schwarzberg, Enrico Dindo, Mario Brunello, Gavriel Lipkind, Daniel Müller Schott, the Martha Argerich Project, Orchestra Sinfonica Giuseppe Verdi di Milano, Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic Orchestra, RAI, OSI, Serate Musicali, I Solisti di Pavia, Sakharov Festival, Karelia's White Nights Festival, Opéra de Limoges, Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra, Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, and Orquesta Nacional Argentina. In 2018, the Vienna State Opera commissioned two compositions for choir and ensemble from him – *Der Dichter spricht Schumann/Bosso* and *Das Buchstabenhaus*. In May 2014, he premiered his *Three Meditations for Mixed Choir and Cello* at the Biblical Festival of Vicenza, introduced by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi. The following year, he had the honor of donating the score, published by Casa Musicale Sonzogno, to Pope Francis.
As a cellist, Bosso has performed with renowned musicians such as Dora Schwarzberg, Ivry Gitlis, Yuri Bashmet, Nicholas Angelich, Martha Argerich, Lilya Zilberstein, Katia Buniatishvili, and Stephen Bishop Kovacevich, with some of these collaborations released by EMI.
In September 2023, a monographic concert dedicated to his work was held at the symphonic hall of the Centro Cultural Kirchner in Buenos Aires, where he also performed as a soloist in his concerto for cello and strings, *MOSHEE*. Subsequently, his book *Utopias and Horizons*, a series of interviews and reflections on the cultural world and the urgent need for a distinct, visionary, and forward-looking cultural proposition, will be published.
