 NYOS Futures: Tre Laudi

 21 February 2010, 2.30pm

Reid Concert Hall, Edinburgh

Tickets: £5/£2

Box Office: 0141 332 8311

 Director: William Conway

 Repertoire:

 Luigi Dallapiccola            Tre Laudi

 This is the latest instalment of the NYOS Futures series of concerts which explore fascinating pieces of contemporary music. NYOS Futures will explore an early work by Luigi Dalapiccola, the most innovative composer to emerge from the Italian Facist regime.  A profound sensitivity of human needs and a mastery of compositional technique are the two overriding characteristics of the music of Luigi Dallapiccola. Dallapiccola observed and reacted to life about him, life during an era of political and social upheaval, but his Tre Laudi is a work with a more spiritual than political dimension.
