Hung out with Damon Groves today, an awesome piano technician here in Toronto. I asked him all kinds of geeky questions that I think any piano player or piano owner might be interested in. I'll put together a video by next month ✌

A lot of gigs I do involve me plugging into a pre-existing audience and concert format as a pianist or composer. With Happenstance (@thehappenstancers), every project is like stepping into complete new territory, and this audio/visual installation coming up is no exception. If you're in Toronto on December 11, the show will be at 7:30pm at Gallery 345 and the admission is FREE. Hope to see you there!

HAPPENSTANCE

“It rarely happens that a recital series strikes excellence in programming from the word go, but … soprano Adanya Dunn, clarinetist Brad Cherwin, [and pianist] Alice Hwang … are doing just that. Next time these people throw a recital, run don’t walk.”

— LYDIA PEROVIC, DEFINITELY THE OPERA

innovative programming and a multi-dimensional narrative

.....................

Happenstance is a chamber music series that looks to create a context for the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Through thoughtful and unlikely pairings, Happenstance brings new sounds, colours, and narratives to the concert stage in Toronto and beyond.

Happenstance is curated, created and performed by Adanya Dunn, soprano, Brad Cherwin, clarinet, and Alice Hwang (Nahre Sol), piano. Guest Artists are regularly featured throughout the season.
