Billone / Savron - Mask [CD]

The album Mask collects the fascinating compositions for marimba by five Italian authors (Fabio Nieder, Pierluigi Billone, Salvatore Sciarrino, Franco Donatoni and Dario Savron), entrusted to the brilliant and skillful execution of Dario Savron, who is here present in the dual role of composer and performer. Dario Savron has performed as a soloist across Europe and North America, and alongside chamber ensembles and orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, the Radio Chamber Orchestra of Holland, and the Opera House of Rome. In recent years, he has won several international competitions for his performances and compositions. He has recorded the music of C. Bolling and A. Piazzolla with the Ensemble Evasion for television and radio productions, and has appeared in several music festivals in Canada, the United States, and Italy. He has also premiered several pieces by well known composers. He is currently professor of percussion at the Conservatory N. Piccinni in Bari.
