# Peleggi Conducts Respighi's Roman Trilogy | NOI Philharmonic. ## Valentina Peleggi leads the NOI Philharmonic on a sonic journey through the city of Rome. Valentina Peleggi leads the NOI Philharmonic on a sonic journey through the city of Rome in this program featuring Ottorino Respighi’s famed Roman Trilogy. Taking a stroll through the city streets, we turn to four of the world’s most recognizable *Fountains*, sonically illustrated by flowing movements in the strings, conch-shell fanfares from the brass and birdsong in the flutes. The evening finishes with a bombastic conclusion in *Pines of Rome*, a well-loved orchestral staple which considers the scenic, looming trees at the edges of the city as they bear witness to centuries of life and death. This event is part of the National Orchestral Institute + Festival.
