About the show
Cinematic nocturnal piano: Glass, Badalamenti, Lynch, Satie, Richter, The Doors, Cage. Eclectic, evocative, genre-defying.
NOTTURNO URBANO is a project by pianist and composer Giusto Di Lallo. Its focus is to explore the emotional geography of cities after dark, through a piano repertoire that crosses diverse musical worlds, dissolving traditional genre barriers into a single, nocturnal, and evocative narrative.
From the mesmerizing music of Philip Glass to the cinematic shadows of Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, from the post-impressionism of Erik Satie to rock reminiscences and avant-garde, this unconventional concert offers a deep immersion into the soul of the urban night.
