Lusi, Oderigi: La stanza dei burattini, for Chamber Ensemble

Composer(s)

Oderigi Lusi: italian pianist e composer, ”who wisely links classic and contemporary music to World Music by exploring the sounds of the so-called “Souths of the World”. His style hinges on a rare piano artistry while his Neapolitan spirit magnifies the longing for freedom of all the Southern World people. In his music, the piano conveys emotions and feelings that music had forgotten to tell in such an elegant way for too long time”.

He performs both as a solo artist and in chamber music contexts and took part in several national and international competitions and festivals.
