Federico Albanese

Neoclassical pianist and composer Federico Albanese stops at Palais Montcalm to present music from his album Blackbirds and the Sun of October. The Italian artist, who has composed soundtracks for television and film, including The Twelve, Autumn Beat, and Last Swim, creates music that is evocative, contemplative, and soothing.

Albanese captivated audiences from his debut album in 2014. His cinematic instrumental pieces, blending contemporary classical, pop, and electronic ambiance, immediately struck a chord with listeners for their airy, meditative beauty. Having previously toured with Ólafur Arnalds, Albanese shares his work globally, offering audiences a tranquil space in contrast to an increasingly noisy world.
