Celebrated classical-electronic composer, Max Richter is bringing his first ever world tour to Australia in 2025.
The German-born English composer-pianist known for his post-minimalist style will headline concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth next February. Alongside a catalogue of eight studio albums – including 'The Blue Notebooks' and 'In A Landscape' – Richter's compositions have being used countless times for film, dance, art and fashion soundtracks ('Spaceman', 'The Leftovers', 'Mary Queen Of Scots').
In September, Richter will add to his canon of work (that includes 'On The Nature Of Daylight', 'The Departure' and 'Vladimir's Blues') when he releases 'In A Landscape', a new studio album delving deeper into themes of optimism and human emotion.
"For me, the music on the record is about connecting or reconciling polarities. The electronics with the acoustic instruments, the natural world with the human world, and the big ideas of life with the personal and intimate," Richter says.
"This is a dynamic I started to explore in my 2004 record 'The Blue Notebooks', and the new project shares many of that album's concerns; in a way this record is another look at the themes of the earlier work, but from the perspective of our world and our lives in 2024." The album's first single is titled 'Movement Before All Flowers'.
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 6 June.
