Contemporary Clarinet Recital

Italian clarinettist and composer Luca Luciano is back to the Brunel University of London to present his new album “Poeta as part of a UK Tour. Described as “romantic, soulful and technically superb”, Luciano’s contemporary clarinet recital (with piano) presents 20th and 21st century music. Along with Luca’s Sonatas for clarinet and basso continuo, the programme also features Broadway classics by Kurt Weil and George Gershwin and arrangements of music by Piazzolla and Puccini.The performance presents new and challenging music, also published on the critically acclaimed album “Neapolis”, written/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.Full details on WWW.LUCALUCIANO.COM
