Giovanni Sollima
Giovanni Sollima (b. Palermo, Sicily, Italy, 1962) is an Italian composer and cellist. He was born into a family of musicians and studied cello with Giovanni Perriera and composition with his father, Eliodoro Sollima, at the Conservatorio di Palermo, where he graduated with highest honors. He later studied with Antonio Janigro and Milko Kelemen at the Musikhochschule Stuttgart and at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg.
Sollima's music is influenced by minimalism, with his compositions often featuring modal melodies and repetitive structures. Because his works are characterized by a more diverse and eclectic approach to material than the early American minimalist composers, the American critic Kyle Gann has termed Sollima a postminimalist composer.
Recordings of Sollima's music have been released on the Agorà and Point Music labels. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
