Sunrise event with music between neoclassical and post-rock
Elia Lombardini is a Finnish-Italian composer, producer and violinist whose hauntingly beautiful compositions combine post-classical maximalism and minimalism with electronic overtones and have been compared to the music of Ryuichi Sakamoto and Max Richter.
Lombardini's debut album In Death and the Hunger for a Thousand Lives was written, arranged, performed and produced entirely by him and is a unique blend of classical music, minimalism and maximalism with (heavy) electronic overtones. Lombardini was active as a producer and musician in various formations ranging from indie pop to electronic music and folk before launching his solo career. In Death and the Hunger for a Thousand Lives is an exciting addition to Finland's illustrious history of classical music.
He will play music at the early hour as the rising morning sun illuminates the window inaugurated last year by Icelandic-Danish artist Ólafur Elíasson. This window project was part of the Hanseatic and university town of Greifswald's celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich's birth. The work of art is unique in Europe as a church window: a light spectrum based on Friedrich's painting "Hutten's Grave" is built into the glass window front - with mouth-blown panes in 65 shades of color, which were produced in the Hein Derix Kevelaer glass workshop.
