Biography

Marco Betta, author of opera, film score, orchestral and chamber music, has studied composition at the Conservatorio di Palermo with Eliodoro Sollima. Afterwards, he improved his studies with Armando Gentilucci and Salvatore Sciarrino.[1] [2]

He made his debut in 1982 at the Festival Spaziomusica of Cagliari, thenceforth his compositions are regularly performed in the main Italian and European institutions.[3] His musical language merges old Sicilian cultures with the main techniques of the contemporary music, in particular the minimalism and the neotonality genres.

Between 1994 and 2002 he was artistic director of the Teatro Massimo, working on the project for the reopening of the theatre, which happened after 23 years on May 12, 1997 with a concert of the theatre choir conducted by Franco Mannino and the Berliner Philharmoniker Orchestra conducted by Claudio Abbado.

Marco Betta teaches composition at the Conservatory of Palermo. [4]
