#52 - Remembering Italian Composer Salvatore Sciarrino

The 52nd episode of Dress Rehearsal, on 107.3 KBFG Seattle featured Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino, who recently turned 75! A native of Palermo in Sicily, the young Sciarrino was attracted to the visual arts, but began experimenting with music when he was twelve. Though he had some lessons in composition he is primarily self-taught as a composer. During the hour will go through some significant works by Sciarrino that fully depict his musical aesthetics and the range of his work, which also draws inspirations from past composers such as Domenico Scarlatti, Gesualdo da Venosa, Maurice Ravel and....a surprise encore. Don't miss it!
