NOTTURNO URBANO

Cinematic nocturnal piano: Glass, Badalamenti, Lynch, Satie, Richter, The Doors, Cage.

Eclectic, evocative, genre-defying.

NOTTURNO URBANO is a project by pianist and composer Giusto Di Lallo. Its focus is to explore the emotional geography of cities after dark, through a piano repertoire that crosses diverse musical worlds, dissolving traditional genre barriers into a single, nocturnal, and evocative narrative.

From the mesmerizing music of Philip Glass to the cinematic shadows of Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, from the post-impressionism of Erik Satie to rock reminiscences and avant-garde, this unconventional concert offers a deep immersion into the soul of the urban night.

Giusto Di Lallo is a versatile and eclectic pianist and composer, renowned for his innovative approach that bridges genres and cultures. He earned a Master’s degree in Piano and a Master’s degree in Composition at the Conservatorio “Lorenzo Perosi” (IT).

Since 1996, he has been a dynamic presence in the concert scene, performing on over 1800 occasions, both as a solo pianist and accompanist. His performances showcase a wide-ranging repertoire that spans classical, contemporary, and experimental music.

His album “Philip Glass - Piano Etudes - 10th Anniversary Special Edition” (SOMM Recordings, February 2025) has been described as “a most rewarding album” (Classical Explorer) and “a welcome addition to the repertoire.” (Gramophone).
