On October 9, 2026, Ludovico Einaudi takes the stage at Walt Disney Concert Hall, presented by the LA Phil. It’s a rare kind of evening—one piano, one player, and a room designed to hold silence as carefully as sound. Einaudi’s stop in Los Angeles anchors the LA Phil’s 2026–27 season with a program that distills three decades of work into its purest form.
This tour introduces Solo Piano, Einaudi’s first-ever collection devoted entirely to the instrument that made his name. The set moves like a personal map—familiar landmarks and new turns—threading early pieces with recent work and a brand-new composition, “Memory One,” written as a reflection on time and transformation.
Listeners can expect touchstones like Nuvole Bianche and Una Mattina, alongside a solo piano version of Experience, his most-streamed piece. There’s also Elegy for the Arctic, born from a performance on a floating platform in the Arctic Ocean, now re-centered on the intimacy of keys and breath.
Recent highlights round out the arc: Adieux, which surged to record-breaking streams on release, and “Jay” from The Summer Portraits (2025). Together, they trace a composer still evolving—pared back, precise, and emotionally direct.
Einaudi’s music thrives on space. Disney Hall offers it in abundance: a room that amplifies nuance, where a held note can feel physical and a pause can be as expressive as a melody. For a solo piano program, it’s an ideal match—no spectacle, no distraction, just the architecture of sound meeting the architecture of the room.
