Pietro Amato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pietro Amato is a Montreal French horn player. He plays with three bands: Torngat, Bell Orchestre, and The Luyas. Amato is also a touring member of Arcade Fire.
In 2006 Bell Orchestre performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival and in 2007 Amato and company were nominated for a Juno Award for their work in Recording a Tape in the Colour of the Light.
Amato is a founding member of Torngat, his longest standing musical project. In July of 2006 a stand-in temporarily replaced Amato for Bell Orchestre's European tour while he devoted his time to Torngat's 2007 album, You Could Be.
