Ludovico Einaudi

He has performed on an Arctic ice-floe for Greenpeace and has seen his music become the soundtrack for Oscar and Golden Globe winning films (Les Intouchables, Nomadland, The Father) and TikTok phenomena (his 2012 track “Experience” exploded on the app) alike. From his earliest work composing for theatre and ballet in the 1980s to his multi-million-selling albums like In a Time Lapse and his popular soundtracks across film and television, Einaudi has drawn upon neo-classical, pop, ambient, rock and experimental styles to create a sound that crosses boundaries and generations, becoming the world’s best known – and most streamed – classical music artist in the process.

In January 2025, Einaudi released The Summer Portraits. The record is a lush return to full-band textures and is the result of a cascade of personal memories triggered by sun, summer and family holidays. On his last Australian tour, before a gig at the Sydney Opera House, Einaudi sat down and started composing the single Rose Bay, based on his sense impressions of the bay his grandfather made home.
