Luca Luciano

Described as 'romantic, soulful and technically superb', this contemporary clarinet recital (accompanied by piano) showcases the full potential of the contemporary clarinet.

Internationally recognised for his groundbreaking contributions to contemporary clarinet music, Luciano presents his sonatas along with pieces by Debussy and Wagner and re-arrangements of Broadway classics by George Gershwin and Frank Churchill. The performance presents new and challenging music published on the critically acclaimed album Neapolis, written and arranged by Luciano, that is unique and varied, notated and 'composed in real time', that embraces romantic atmospheres and contemporary idioms, experimentation and heartfelt melodies.

Though Luca’s exceptional virtuoso skills are clearly evident, the music has always a distinctive melodic sense influenced by the Western European tradition and his Neapolitan heritage. Due to its variety and melodic taste, the repertoire has proven to be appreciated by a wide range of music lovers who are also after something different and stimulating.
