A career that spans film and stage
Many will recognise Einaudi’s music from film and television. His pieces have been featured in award-winning productions such as Nomadland and The Father. He also released a collection of music for screen, titled Cinema, which brought together some of his most memorable work for films and series. Beyond the screen, he continues to sell out concerts across the world.
New music to discover
In recent years, Einaudi released Underwater, his first solo piano album in two decades. Written in 2020, the album captures a sense of calm and creativity, with tracks performed on piano alone.
A night of music
Abu Dhabi audiences now have the chance to see this extraordinary artist perform live by the sea at Saadiyat Nights. With the island’s serene setting as a backdrop, Einaudi’s performance is set to be a memorable evening filled with moving soundscapes and moments of stillness.
