The double concerto Invisible Cities takes structural and thematic ideas from Italo Calvino’s 1972 novel of the same name. Five main movements evoke particular categories of fantastical cities: these are separated by dialogues between the two soloists.
Invisible Cities was commissioned by Nicolò Spera with funds from the University of Colorado. The first performance was given by the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra at the Macky Auditorium, Boulder, on 22nd April 2017. The soloists were Nicolò Spera and Charles Wetherbee and the conductor was Michael Butterman.
