TEATINI, Serena

Serena Teatini (b. 1958) is an Italian composer and pianist based in Bologna. She studied electronic music at the Bologna Conservatory and holds diplomas in piano, band orchestration, and composition, completing her composition diploma in 2009. Her work encompasses instrumental and electronic music as well as music for silent film and video poetry, and is characterized by lyricism, polyphony, rhythmic vitality, and explorations of memory and sound. Her music has been performed in Italy and internationally, including at Festival Angelica, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and Maison de la Musique in Montreal. Her works include Mi Fa (2014) for string ensemble, inspired by the repetition and resonance of two pitches heard in an otherwise empty club.
