English
Luigi Antonio Irlandini, Brazilian/Italian composer and pianist born in Rio de Janeiro, composes music for choir, orchestra, solo instruments and chamber ensembles using not only western traditional instrumentation but also combining western and non-western instruments. Of special interest are percussion instruments, recorders, the shakuhachi, the solo voice and vocal groups a cappella. The co-existence of western and non-western, musical and philosophical, modern and ancient concepts, gives to his music a characteristic sound, and a strong interdisciplinary trait.
Irlandini studied composition: in Brazil, with Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, in Rio de Janeiro; in Italy, with Franco Donatoni, in Biella and at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena,
and with Franco Cioci, at the Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini in Florence; in California, with Stephen L. Mosko at CalArts, and with Brian Ferneyhough at the University of California, San Diego.
Irlandini studied classical piano in Rio de Janeiro with Estela Caldi, Luiz Henrique Senise and Nereida Nogueira.
Irlandini has done extensive work with experimental theater groups, specially group
QÁ BAL O QUÁ, by Brazilian theater director Isabela Timm Fymminz, in Rome, from 1991 to 1994, touring with the theatrical street performance Allegorie del Caos in several Italian cities.
From 2001 to 2010, Irlandini has taught music, singing, recorders, and violin and directed children's choirs and strings orchestra in the following American Steiner elementary and high schools.
Irlandini has been Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara between 1999 an 2002. In this capacity he worked at the Center for Research in Electronic Art and Technology (CREATE) with composer Prof. JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, and, at the UCSB Music Department, with musicologist Prof. Michael Beckerman, in the preparation of his book New Worlds of Dvorák. Irlandini has taught composition and twentieth-century music courses as Lecturer for one year at UCSB (1998-1999).
Currently, Luigi Antonio Irlandini is Adjunct Professor and Researcher at the Department of Music, Arts Center (CEART), of the Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, UDESC, in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil, since 2010, teaching Harmony, Counterpoint, Analysis, and Composition.
