Bitó Conservatory Building Emanuele Arciuli has established himself as one of the most original and interesting performers on today’s classical music scene. His repertoire ranges from Bach to contemporary music, with a strong affinity for composers from the United States.
Having gained the respect of distinguished composers such as Helmut Lachenman, Frederic Rzewski, John Adams and George Crumb, Emanuele Arciuli has had many new works written for him, including piano concertos by Michael Nyman and Louis W. Ballard, whose Indiana Concerto he premiered in 2008 with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.
His special interest in Native American cultures has impacted Emanuele Arciuli’s career, and resulted in him commissioning works from a number of Native American composers. His most recent project is called Indian Gallery and will feature new works inspired by Native American visual art by composers such as John Luther Adams, Martin Bresnick, Michael Daugherty, Kyle Gann, Peter Garland, Huang Ruo and Morton Subotnick.Sponsored by: Music Program.
