Simone Movio

Simone Movio is an Italian composer whose work delves into the enchanting and the earthly, creating a unique sonic landscape that captivates the ear. Her composition "Libro di terra e d'incanti" (A Book of Earth and Enchantment), performed by soprano Livia Rado and the mdi ensemble under the direction of Beat Furrer, is a testament to her evocative and imaginative style. Movio's music often finds itself in the company of other notable contemporary composers, and her works have been commissioned by renowned violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja. With pieces like "Incanto XIX" for violin and ensemble, Movio continues to push the boundaries of classical music, offering listeners a journey through sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new.
