On the occasion of the centenary of Luigi Nono’s birth, Tempo Reale has put together a concert-homage to the Venetian composer, touching both on his music dealing with social commitment and with that of his final period, characterised by a strong use of live electronics. The project sees the collaboration of one of the main performers of Nono’s music, Giancarlo Schiaffini, and of the soprano Monica Benvenuti, former muse of Sylvano Bussotti and student of Nono’s collaborator Liliana Poli.
