Italian classical/avant-garde pianist Alessandra Celletti will make it stateside in December to play three shows: In New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. For the West Coast shows, tickets are available through Amoeba Music for about $20 each. You can get more information at Amoeba’s website, as well as the Facebook page for this event.

Here’s a piece from Celletti, featured in the film Elan Vital. Actor Michael Onofri mimes along to a special edit of “Chi mi darà le ali – Porgi L’orecchio, Dio, Alla Mia Preghiera…” :

I worked on that movie a couple of years ago, writing and producing other music in the soundtrack. If I remember correctly, I edited the Celletti piece early in the preproduction process. Good times.
