Bio:
Augustus Arnone is an adventurous pianist who has made a home at the
edge of transcendental extremes in the modern repertory. His
repertoire includes the complete solo piano works of Milton Babbitt,
which he first performed in 2008, at Merkin Concert Hall, and then
again in honor of the centenary of Babbitt's birth year in 2016 at
Spectrum, both in New York City. Arnone has also performed Michael
Finnissy's complete "The History Of Photography In Sound," as well
works by John Cage, Iannis Xenakis, Roberto Sierra, Karlheinz
Stockhausen, Frederic Rzewski, Elliott Carter, Luigi Nono, Jason
Eckardt, and Donald Martino.
Mr. Arnone is an ardent advocate of new music and has collaborated with many exciting composers active presently including Roberto Sierra, Robert Morris, Michael Finnissy,
Jason Eckardt, Edmund Campion, Stephen Gorbos, Christopher Bailey, Yotam Haber, Spencer Topel, Jeff Snyder, Chris Arrel, Michael Klingbeil, and many more.
Mr. Arnone received a doctorate in music from Cornell University, where he studied historical performance practice and early pianos.
