Titled Seqeunza Italiana, the showcase is going to be a mystic journey through 500 years of Italian music-making featuring Sollima’s trademark flamboyance which can see him parade across the stage, a leftover from days of practice “when he’d fancy a cup of coffee or had to answer the doorbell and didn’t want to stop playing”.
Sollima has a voracious musical appetite and thrives on a wide-ranging and ever-changing diet – he composes for electric and acoustic instruments, and has written music for film directors and choreographers including Peter Greenaway, Wim Wenders and Karole Armitage.
