About the event
“Ricercando”
In the series of solo performance I will contrast “Musica Ricercata” of G. ligeti with the Schubert last sonata in B-Flat major, different styles of composing connected by the same inner idea of “researching” and “discovering”. The program aims to combine classical and modern music in the same concert, finding similarities and connections between two very different composers.

After graduating from the “D. Cimarosa” Conservatory in Avellino, Italy his passion for new music and composition brought him to the Netherlands to research Karnatic rhythm at the Amsterdam Conservatory.
