Einaudi's six piece ensemble, which includes Robert Lippok of German post-rock trio To Rococo Rot on electronics, 17 year old rising star Federico Mecozzi on violin and guitar, and long-term collaborator Marco Decimo on cello, will be drawing from the popular composer's rich back catalogue as well as performing material from recent album Nightbook, which reached no1 in the Classical Artist Album charts.

Ludovico Einaudi

Born in Turin and trained at the Conservatorio in Milan, composer/pianist Ludovico Einaudi's music has been described as minimalist, classical, ambient, contemporary and deeply touching; the welcome sound of stillness in a hectic world. A former pupil of Luciano Berio, his hauntingly beautiful and evocative music has kept him among the best-selling and most requested recording artists, particularly in the UK and Italy. His output has included ballets, operas and soundtracks as well as his specifically-conceived piano albums.
