On Saturday, February 16th the artist will pay tribute to his roots in a meeting open to the public
presented by Pippo Baudo.

Tireless Giovanni Allevi. After the great success of his last album “SUNRISE”, in which he eclectically played
the role of composer, pianist and director, the artist will be a special guest at B.I.T (International Tourism
Exchange) on Saturday, 16th February at 2.45 pm at the Marches stand. He will then meet the public and
will chronicle the most striking moments of his artistic life in a friendly chat with much-loved TV face Pippo
Baudo.

This is an ideal context where to delineate Giovanni Allevi’s dynamic activity: the enfant terrible which keeps bringing his classical contemporary music throughout Italy and all over the world, everywhere meeting with standing ovations and sold out shows.

The “Sunrise Tour” with the Italian Symphonic Orchestra is indeed going on next Spring successfully. Moreover, Allevi goes back to a more intimate dimension in the “Piano Solo Tour 2013” where he will go over his twenty-year career through his best-loved piano solo tracks.

"SUNRISE" IT'S THE TITLE OF THE NEW ALBUM!

Giovanni Allevi's new album is entitled "SUNRISE", coming out next October 30th on Bizart/Sony Music.

"The Music, my Whimsical Witch, has re-emerged with the harrowing sound of the violin, the piano, and the orchestra. The music of my rebirth. After a long and hard period of time, the notes, the joy and enthusiasm have returned to running me over like a waterfall. Now all I want is for these notes to be close to hearts of the people, that they may be an encouragement to overcome the dark moments, to find that light again, that is inside each one of us": this is "SUNRISE" for Allevi. The cover of the album, with notes and scores that spill out of his mind, describes in images how the music is constantly present in his thoughts.

A new exciting challenge for the composer, director of orchestra and pianist who returns with a new absolutely unreleased symphonic project containing his very first compostion for violin and orchestra, where however his unseperable piano will not be missed, again being a protagonist under the proficiency of his fingers. "SUNRISE" comes at a distance of two years from his last successful album for piano solo "Alien" and four years since his first album for symphonic orchestra "Evolution", awarded with the platinum disc.

The album was recorded in the prestigious Carlo Felice Theatre of Genoa and over 60 orchestra professors of the same lyrical entity were involved in the recordings. A detail not to underestimate for the purists of sound, is that the recording was realized in high definition hd (96 khz) with the highest qualitative standards, which allowed the insertion of the disc in the innovative section of the i-Tunes store "Mastered For i-Tunes" which allows to obtain files for the i-Devices with a clearer, sharper sound.

"SUNRISE" will also be available in a limited time version for collection, in the variant deluxe edition with a booklet especially made and a DVD of "the Making of" the realization of the album, with interviews of the protagonists and backstage images in exclusive of about 30 minutes.

The world première of the piece, in which Giovanni will be accompanied by the Carlo Felice Theatre Orchestra and by a Paganini award winner chosen to perform the virtuous composition for violin, will be on November 14th in Genoa and will be repeating the performance by great request with the same artistic cast that gave birth to the project, in the main Italian cities: Florence (November 15th – Teatro Verdi), Bologna (November 18th - Teatro Auditorium Manzoni), Milan (November 19th – Teatro degli Arcimboldi), Rome (November 28th - Auditorium Conciliazione).

For the second time in a row the "Alien" composer has the honor of presenting Italian music at the Olympic Games. After his presence among the musical guests of the 2008 Olympics in Pechino, where he performed leading the "China Philharmonic Orchestra" at the Auditorium of the Forbidden City, Giovanni Allevi returns in the context of the world sports celebrations bringing his music to London next August 9th 2012 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center of the british capital.
