Chamber Orchestra of New York proudly congratulates Music Director and composer, Salvatore Di Vittorio for a significant milestone in his professional career.
The Morgan Library & Museum has invited Maestro Di Vittorio to donate the autograph manuscript of his latest orchestral composition La Villa d’Este a Tivoli to its prestigious music manuscripts archive. Maestro Di Vittorio becomes the first composer to ever compose for, and dedicate a musical work to, the Morgan Library & Museum, and the first native Italian composer during his lifetime to be invited to donate an autograph manuscript to the museum’s music archive.
