Contemporary classical music is on the rise. Big name European composers like Ludovico Einaudi, Nihls Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Max Richter have done much to popularise the genre which has its roots in classical music but is also heavily influenced by pop, folk, world, film and electronic music. You can expect accessible ambient piano music with a meditative, soothing, serene feel to it which is both captivating and powerfully cinematic. The four featured artists have been working together over the last few months to provide more opportunities for live performances and to develop the audience for this music here in the north of England.
Atmospherica founder Steve Luck said “I’m delighted to welcome these amazing pianists to Newcastle for what promises to be a very special evening. All of the artists have played at an Atmospherica Concert in the past year or so and I’m really pleased to bring them all together on one evening for everyone to enjoy. There is nothing like experiencing this music performed live, especially in a beautiful intimate venue like the Gosforth Civic Theatre”
