Michael Nyman, the composer of the music for the soundtrack of the triple Oscar-winning film The Piano, will first perform his new work Cine Opera and then, in the second part of the concert, excerpts from his music for the films Wonderland, The Libertine, Prospero's Books, The Draughtsman's Contract and Drowning by Numbers.
Michael Nyman is one of the most innovative and acknowledged British composers. His output consists of operas, string quartets, film music, and orchestral concertos. He is not only a composer, but also a performer of his works, a conductor, an ensemble leader, a pianist, a writer, a musicologist and, since recently, a photographer and film-maker.
