Eden Culture is presenting a live stage performance by Maurizio Mastrini, known as The Barefoot Pianist.

Mastrini is known for his unique technique of playing masterpieces in reverse, while tapping his bare feet on the ground. His sound forms a bridge between traditional music and new contemporary classical music.

Many of his works are minimalistic compositions, while others show a mathematical formation which, with such an abundance of notes, sound like an orchestra is performing.

Mastrini’s musical career started off as a percussionist in his father’s blacksmith workshop. By turning empty paint tins into simple drums, he discovered his love for rhythm and sound. He shortly moved onto playing the piano and found himself performing in Italian theatres with experts referring to him as a child prodigy. Since then, Mastrini has played in more than 450 concerts all over the world.

The concert takes place at the Eden Cinemas, St Julian’s tomorrow at 3pm.
