Monday 06/30
AN INTERVIEW WITH LUDOVICO EINAUDI
Ambient chamber music from the classical birthplace
Italian composer Luciano Berio was an icon of 20th century avant-garde music standing alongside John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Ludovico Einaudi studied with Berio but took a different path towards consonant music and a lush harmonic language that is folk-like in its simplicity. We talk to him about his ambient chamber music.
