Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI

In May 2021, Robert Treviño was appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI (also known as the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, popularly known as 'RAI Torino' or simply 'the RAI'), for an initial period of three years, starting in the 2021/22 season. One of Italy's leading orchestras, RAI Torino and Treviño have for several years enjoyed a close and deepening relationship.

The RAI National Symphony Orchestra had its origins in the RAI Symphony Orchestra of Turin; but today's orchestra was formed in 1994 as a bringing-together of the four existing RAI orchestras of Turin, Rome, Milan and Naples. Previous Principal Guest Conductors include Jeffrey Tate and Gianandrea Noseda.

As well as collaborating with the orchestra in many projects in Torino, Robert has led the orchestra on tours around Italy including to La Scala Milano, and internationally including through Germany. Their first recording together, Respighi's "Roman Trilogy" was released by Ondine in September 2023 to excellent reviews ("Masterfully interpreted...passionate and precise...a thrilling performance" Die Merker; "Just marvelous...I'm putting this in an honored place in my Respighi collection" Classics Today) debuting in the UK Specialist Classical Charts and reaching number 4 in the Tower Records chart of best-selling albums in Japan.
