About the Event
Dynamic kiwi pianist聽Liam Wooding聽will collaborate with staff and students from UC to perform new music from Australasia and beyond.
Opening the concert is Jenny McLeod鈥檚 鈥楳irror Echoes鈥, written in 2022. It was the last piece the composer wrote and is a short work for 1 or 2 pianists that was convinced as a pedagogical exercise for the collection: Fit 4 Piano etudes. David Hamilton鈥檚 new piece Ururangi draws inspiration from the Matariki constellation and Shingetsu by Australian composer Lachlan Skipworth flows and dances.
Liam聽then teams up with UC percussionist Sho Woodhouse in John Psathas鈥 electric 鈥楢ngelus鈥 before returning to David Hamilton in 鈥楾ui鈥, which he will play alongside a team of UC piano students.
The performance concludes with Jacob TV鈥檚 iconically ironic 鈥楤ody of Your Dreams.鈥 Be wowed by the latest fitness craze in this piece for piano and digital media!
