Today, 24 October, would have been Luciano Berio’s 89th birthday.

As you can see on our performance calendar of Berio’s works, the composer’s music is highly valued and frequently performed, and we’d like to draw special attention to the Staatstheater Kassel’s upcoming production of Un re in ascolto, which is scheduled for next May.

View the Centro Studi Luciano Berio’s entry on the 24th of October and their captivating page Per Luciano.
