Roberto Andreoni

breve biografia
Dopo il diploma a Milano e il dottorato all’University of California, Roberto Andreoni si è dedicato parallelamente all’insegnamento e alla composizione, in Italia e negli U.S.A., ricevendo riconoscimenti in entrambi i campi: Fulbright Scholar di Musica e Cultura Italiana a Los Angeles nel 2010; Best Public Event Award in Italy nel 2009, con il progetto multimediale di AGON il Suono della Guerra dei Suoni. Docente e direttore di numerose scuole, quali la Civica Scuola di Musica e l’Istituto IES Abroad di Milano, insegna ora composizione al Conservatorio G.Rossini di Pesaro.

I suoi lavori operistici, orchestrali, cameristici, elettronici, per il teatro e per film sono pubblicati fra gli altri da RAI Trade, Suvini Zerboni, Eco; incisi per Wergo, Stradivarius, e dedicati a performers (es. Sentieri Selvaggi, in questo e altri progetti!) e stagioni di spicco della scena internazionale. (La Scala, Carnegie Hall, Biennale, MiTo)
