Ludovico Einaudi – July 4, Bell Centre

Ludovico Einaudi

presents Essential Einaudi

Six months after his sold-out performance in Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, illustrious Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi takes on the Centre Bell, with a concert equal to his immense talent. Essential Einaudi revisits the repertoire of the neoclassical master, featuring many of the hits that have won him an international reputation.

With a 30+ year career featuring twenty album releases, a plethora pf prizes and awards, and concerts all over the world, Ludovico Einaudi is a genuine musical legend.

A virtuoso pianist and composer of rare brilliance, he owns the classical music charts, and is the first classical composer in over 20 years to rank among the top 15 in album sales, winning a devoted audience with the atmospheric beauty of his music.

With a legacy of sold-out concerts, the maestro returns accompanied by his musicians in a decidedly more “rock” setting to unfurl an array of his most recent successes, including his latest album, Elements, and his compositions for the films Intouchables, Black Swan and Mommy.
