Born in Turin, Einaudi trained as a classical composer and pianist at the Milan Conservatorio. He studied under Luciano Berio, one of the most important composers of the twentieth century avant-garde. After some early prestigious commissions in the classical world Einaudi turned his back on what he regarded as an essentially conservative approach to music to embrace his own enthusiasms, which included African, folk and rock music. Einaudi’s music has become some of the most recognisable in the world through its use in film and advertisements, making him the world’s most ubiquitous contemporary composer. He has provided music for numerous films including Shane Meadows’ This Is England and the TV sequels This Is England ‘86’ (for which he earned a BAFTA nomination), This Is England ‘88, and This Is England ‘90. His music also appears in numerous feature films and trailers, including the Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary I’m Still Here, the French Oscar nominee Untouchables and the multi-award-winning film Mommy by Xavier Dolan, as well as regularly being heard on popular weekly television programmes and high profile adverts. Fans include Nicki Minaj, who walks onstage to his music, Iggy Pop, Tom Hiddleston and Ellie Goulding, to name but a few. Championed by BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James, Einaudi’s music has been sampled by Professor Green and remixed by Mogwai and Starkey. In 2016 the pianist performed on a floating platform in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, specially built by Greenpeace, to raise awareness of global warming. The next few years saw the release of ‘Seven Days Walking’ which – consisting of seven albums released in seven months accompanied by live dates in seven cities across the UK including seven sold-out nights at the Barbican in London – dominated classical charts across the globe. This was followed by soundtracks to Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father as well as the launch of new podcast mini-series Experience: The Ludovico Einaudi Story, starring celebrated actors, filmmakers and screenwriters such as Russell Crowe, Shane Meadows and Eric Toledano. In 2023, Einaudi received a prestigious invitation from the United Nations for Human Rights to contribute to the Human Right Day concert, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. October 2023 witnessed Einaudi's triumphant return to the UK, captivating audiences in Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, and Liverpool. He began 2024 flying to Dubai, Singapore, and a 9-date tour in Australia, including a sold-out residency at the Sydney Opera House. Winter 2024 saw him play two nights at the London Palladium. This was followed by various European dates before a run of 17 shows in Milan, at Teatro Dal Verme, in December. This summer Einaudi makes history by embarking upon the longest continuous headline run ever by a pianist at the Royal Albert Hall, with five consecutive nights in June-July. The record- breaking run of dates at the historic London venue (totalling over 26,000 people) takes place from 30th June to 4th July, and is already sold out. This residency is followed by the recently announced extra concerts at Manchester's Co-op Live (6th July), Dublin's 3Arena (8th July) and Edinburgh Castle (10th [sold out] and 11th July).
