Sergio Lattes

Sergio Lattes, a Neapolitan pianist, lives in Milan. He taught in the Conservatories of Milan for 38 years, in Turin, in Genoa. He was the pianist of the Rai Symphony Orchestra of Milan. He has played in Italy, the United States, France, Great Britain, Switzerland, collaborating with instrumentalists and singers.

He has been intensely involved in contemporary music. He conceived and organized the ASM Concerts together with Philippe Daverio, one of the earliest and most brilliant experiences of contact between music and non-profit in Italy. As a consultant to the City of Milan he then promoted new musical initiatives of the Administration, and accompanied the birth of the "Bach Weeks" with the Quartet Society.

For the European project "Working with Music" he edited the volume "Young people who go abroad", a series of talks with young musicians accompanied by contributions by Giunio Luzzatto, Jeremy Cox and others. As part of the same project, he conducted a research on the employment outcomes of graduates from Italian Conservatories which was published under the title "Live on Music, a research and 11 stories of young Italian musicians", with an afterword by Giunio Luzzatto.

In recent years he has dedicated himself to musical dissemination, holding concert-conferences that he called "Concerts with words" in various cities of Italy, and gradually establishing a large collection of popular videos on YouTube, intended for an interested but not-specialist public. They are available on the internet at bit.ly/Lattes_raccolta. The automatic translation of subtitles of these videos into English has been verified as acceptable
