Event Details
The most-streamed classical artist of all time, Einaudi returned last year with his first new solo piano album in 20 years. Underwater was born in lockdown, utilising the rare opportunity for song-writing in its purest and most intimate form: just Einaudi and his piano. It features 12 newly-composed solo piano tracks, beautifully showcasing his unmistakable musical style which is renowned around the world.
For Einaudi, Underwater is a deep dive to another place, where he could swim freely without thoughts, without travel and the usual rush of touring. Here time stops, as these songs without words become hypnotic, each touched with an innocent, delicate beauty. Underwater follows an astounding year for Einaudi with the release of soundtracks to Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning films Nomadland and The Father (which include tracks from his chart-topping 2019 release Seven Days Walking), and the compilation album Cinema, featuring his composition achievements in film and TV.
In 2022 Ludovico Einaudi sold out three nights at Eventim Apollo followed by three nights at the Royal Albert Hall. He and his band now return to play two special concerts in Scotland and Ireland.

Contactless Security Screening
At the SEC, we’re always looking for ways to make your experience even better. While we continue to keep safety and security our top priority, we're introducing new security screening technology to help make entry smoother and more seamless. Check the information below on how it works, so you can spend the minimum time waiting and the maximum time enjoying your visit.
Evolv Express is a contactless security screening solution that highlights threat items, while ignoring harmless personal items, as you walk through at a natural pace.
How does it work?
- Follow instructions from our team
- Keep all personal belongings with you during the screening process
- Simply Walk through the screening system; there's no need to stop unless directed to by security
- Have your ticket ready for scanning
If you have a medical condition that may limit certain security procedures, or use a wearable or implanted medical device, please inform staff as you approach and they will provide an alternative screening method.

Ludovico Einaudi and his band will play one long set - they change it every night so we don't produce a printed programme, but it will combine new music, old music, some solos, and music from his most recent album Underwater.
In the first half, the amazing South African cellist Abel Selaocoe will play a short set - he will be coming back to Scotland in August to play the Edinburgh International Festival. After his set, there will be an interval of 20 minutes.
