The Back Loft/La Cat Acoustic is delighted to present an evening of
experimental piano music in collaboration with curator/composer Peter Moran, with special guests
Kian Geiselbrechtinger on piano and vocalist Olesya Zdorovetska.
This
concert spans one hundred years of musical innovators, including acoustic,
electro-acoustic and audio-visual works from Arnold Schoenberg, Henry Cowell,
John Cage, György Ligeti, John Zorn and Irish composer Jennifer Walshe. The
latter part of the programme will feature a selection of Peter Moran’s recent
piano music, including the first full performance of “The Dublin Miniatures” –
a collection of piano miniatures composed in different parts of Dublin city
earlier this year, and performed with video projections of the locations where
they were written.
