Northern Migrations

"Northern Migrations" features original solo piano compositions and improvisations by Francesco Turrisi and the 10 year journey of Italian pianist from the heart of the Mediterranean to the North of Europe. The migratory desire is as old as mankind itself. And it has been the embodiment of cultural diversity and enrichment. Northern Migration has been a recurrent theme in Turrisi’s life and it's the source of inspiration for this solo project. Francesco's family migrated from an impoverished Sicily in the 1970's to the more industrially developed north of Italy in search of work and a better life.
