Bruno Roccella

Conductor from Italy

Bruno Roccella was an Italian conductor from Naples who worked in Brazil and played a decisive role in the history of the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP). Although the orchestra had been created by law in 1954, it remained largely inactive for the following decade. In 1964 Roccella spearheaded a movement to bring the State Symphony Orchestra back to the stage: rehearsals resumed on 3 July 1964 and the ensemble gave its first public concert on 22 July, opening a new chapter in its history. He went on to lead the orchestra during the following years, in the period preceding the long tenure of Eleazar de Carvalho, who took over in 1973. Source: Rondo DB
