THE CREATIVES
Australian-Italian artist Alex Raineri is a piano player, harpsichordist, composer, improviser, curator, producer, writer, musical director and educator.
Though trained classically, Alex is passionate about deconstructing genre barriers, nurturing how the tendrils of an old (classical) tradition can resonate vibrantly in today’s world. Alex’s creative ethos embodies a gentle shift towards a utopian future, leveraging storytelling through music as a powerful vehicle for manifesting social change.
His collaborative and original work foregrounds diversity and innovation. As a commissioner, he has activated over 90 new works. Alex’s own compositional practice explores the intersection between old and new, weaving musical conventions in fresh ways. Beyond music, he has collaborated with dancers, actors, filmmakers, visual artists, and designers.
Critical praise for his work has lauded him as “a musical chameleon … a visionary prophet of the keys” (Limelight), “fearless, playful, and technically formidable” (Stage Whispers), "a born communicator" (The Australian), and “a brilliant young musician" (Otago Times).
As a performing artist, Alex’s extensive international touring includes shows throughout USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. With an expansive repertoire traversing Monteverdi to Xenakis, he is equally authoritative in interpreting the classical canon and premiering new work.
As a recording artist, discography includes releases with Decca, Parma Records, ABC Classic, Kammerklang, MOVE Records and Soothe Sounds. He has made television appearances in Australia and Germany, and radio broadcasts on BBC, ABC, Radio NZ, Chicago’s WFMT and Florida’s WSMR.
Alex is the artistic director and producer of Brisbane Music Festival and FourthWall Arts. He is an artist ambassador for Kawai Australia and holds a piano teaching position at the University of Queensland.
