Emanuele Arciuli
Classical and Contemporary Piano Compositions

Italian pianist Emanuele Arciuli is the leading proponent for music for piano by Native American composers. This concert features works by Louis Ballard (Quapaw/Cherokee), Brent Michael Davids (Mohican), Barbara Croall (Odawa), and George Quincy (Choctaw), and the world premiere of Nilchi Shada’ji Nalaghali (winds that turn on the side from the sun), composed for Arciuli by Raven Chacon (Navajo).
Arciuli has earned a reputation as a champion of both Classicism and 20th-century Music, particularly the Second Viennese School and American contemporary classical music.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden's PLATFORM IN SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN ARTS
"Our nation’s creativity has filled the world’s libraries, museums, recital halls, movie houses, and marketplaces with works of genius. The arts embody the American spirit of self-definition. As the author of two best-selling books – Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope – Barack Obama uniquely appreciates the role and value of creative expression."
