music

Federico Biscione is one of the contemporary composers who has made a partial return to tonality . He makes use of various stylistic elements and creates new musical structures that are based on the classical tonal system, but currently defy precise definition in words (as there are no binding terms for this yet). In his work “Mozart - A Biography”, for example, he brings familiar themes and motifs into completely new contexts.
As far as the cast is concerned, works with singing and orchestras with a smaller cast are his focus.
