I am very happy and proud that DAVID IANNI, who is one of the regular listeners of our podcast, has allowed me to play his music on the show. And I think this will not be the last time we hear his music on Thoth Hermes!
David Ianni comes from Luxembourg and is a critically acclaimed classical pianist and a composer of more than 120 works, including compositions for the piano and sacred choral music. His music has been performed throughout Europe, India and Japan.
David has become well-known for his project MY URBAN PIANO for which a series of nine music videos was produced in different European Capitals of Culture. He dedicated an original composition to each city and performed it on artistically designed pianos. Most of the pianos were donated to institutions of the cities. Not only is David a musical ambassador for his home country, but also for the European Idea.
