This concert is a rare opportunity to hear Xenia Pestova Bennett “a powerhouse of contemporary keyboard repertoire” (TEMPO) play the intricate and spellbinding piano works of Annea Lockwood. Long-time collaborators, Xenia brings insight and sensitivity to Lockwood's music.
The concert features two of Pestova Bennett’s own compositions alongside a selection of Lockwood’s works for prepared piano in which ribbons, objects and a transducer speaker are placed inside the instrument; an example of Lockwood’s pioneering electroacoustic work; and ‘Gone’, a playful performance piece in which a music box is floated through the concert hall using helium balloons.
