Doors 19:00 / Start 20:00
The Ukrainian-Canadian pianist and composer Lubomyr Melnyk has composed over 120 works, many of them for solo piano. With his “Continuous Music”, he has developed a form and playing technique since the 1970s that opens up infinite acoustic and emotional spaces: With the pedal pressed down and a flow of sound that never stops, he plays himself into a meditative state. Influenced by American minimal music, especially representatives such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley and La Monte Young, Melnyk has developed an idiosyncratic piano style that has a transcendental effect. Melnyk now lives in Sweden and is regarded as one of the most important and exciting contemporary pianists and composers.
