Andrea Centazzo @ Kennedy Center
Wednesday evening, Italian-born veteran composer and multimedia artist Andrea Centazzo came to the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage as part of this year’s Sonic Circuits Festival Experimental Music. With an artistic career spanning the last four decades, Centazzo has recorded over 150 albums and DVDs, written three operas, eight books, and created three one-man multimedia shows, from which he drew most of his material for last night’s performance. Centazzo’s previous creative endeavors with big band jazz, opera and minimalist composition all come into play with his multimedia performances, merging syncopated jazz rhythms with East Asian drumming and European religious choral music.
