Italian Maestro Ludovico Einaudi Tours his Latest Album ELEMENTS this February
By: Liz Cearns Sep. 23, 2016
Chart-topping Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi returns to Australia with his band in February 2017 to tour his highly anticipated release Elements. In 2015 the beautiful poignant work became the first classical work in 23 years to reach the top 15 of the UK charts. It will be visually brought to life on stage on the Australian tour through the use of striking multimedia and lighting techniques.
Born in Turin, Italy he trained as a classical composer and pianist. He became one of the most influential and popular composers in UK, Europe and beyond. Einaudi's genre-defying music has been described as minimalist, alt-classical, ambient and contemporary. Luminous, emotive and always supremely refined, Ludovico Einaudi's performances have attracted an ever growing audience over the last two decades whose diversity and devotion are without parallel.
In addition to creating hauntingly and evocative music which top the charts, he has composed a host of outstanding film scores, BLACK SWAN, Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar and box-office record breaker The Intouchables. Many of Einadi's award-winning scores became successful albums in their own right, Doctor Zhivago (2002) Shane Meadows' highly acclaimed film This Is England ( 2006) and its television sequel This Is England '86 (2010) which brought him a BAFTA nomination.
Einaudi became a floating platform in June this year when he performed a solo piano original work Elegy for the Arctic against the backdrop of the Wahlenbergbreen glacier on the Arctic Ocean. The concert was an attempt to draw attention to the plight of the region.
