Ludovico Einaudi: The Summer Portraits Tour

An Italian pianist whose luscious, minimalist tunes have captured the world’s attention, Ludovico Einaudi has enjoyed a lauded career full of pensive music and thrilling, worldly adventures. After finishing his music studies in Milan, Einaudi has traveled extensively, premiering works at the Tanglewood Music Festival, Lincoln Center, UCLA and Teatro alla Scala. In the early ‘10s, he toured the U.S. and Canada for In a Time Lapse, appearing on various radio shows. Einaudi has a rich tradition of recording and releasing live concerts, from his La Scala Concert 03.03.03 to 2009’s Live in Prague and 2010’s Royal Albert Hall Concert. Additionally, he’s participated in many iTunes Festival recordings, including multiple shows in London and a 2019 release from Milan’s Piazza Liberty. In a live setting, fans of Einaudi’s contemporary classical catalog find themselves transfixed when he and his small band of well-rehearsed instrumentalists take the stage. An aura of mystery (think moody lighting and smoky effects) often accompanies the evocative, sprawling compositions, full of gentle arpeggios and circular chord sequences.
