Piano by Nature presents
Rescheduled Ricochet Duo
Saturday, March 8, 7 pm and Sunday, March 9, 3 pm
‘Greatest Hits’ is a concert program for piano and percussion that will bring together works by a wide-range of living composers and explore the crossover between classical and contemporary styles.The works are fresh and carefully chosen compositions that are sometimes percolating, sometimes wistful, and utilize myriad textures such as minimalist repetition, playful polyrhythms, bold dynamic contrast, and vibrant electronic colors to create their unique soundscapes. Many of the works included were written in the last ten years and reflect the shifting trends in much of what we see and hear around us, and all explore the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of sonic and rhythmic possibilities.
Piano by Nature is looking forward to presenting both concerts at the beautiful Hand House and warmly invite you to join us for a memorable evening of music, refreshments, and post-concert conversation with our stunning artists.
Purchase tickets HERE. You can also reserve your spot via email at pianobynature@gmail.com or by phone at 518-962-8899. We look forward to seeing you there!
