I will offer an immersive introduction to the musical works for this “multimedia reimagining of the piano recital.” Accompanied by a full-length video installation designed by architect Hakan Demirel, this program “takes us on a virtual journey of musical reflection through the microcosm that is Echoes Of Life, in its US premiere.”

From the program: Echoes Of Life is Ott’s personal musical reflection on life, built around Chopin’s Preludes op. 28 and interspersed with seven works by the likes of György Ligeti, Nino Rota, Chilly Gonzales, Tōru Takemitsu, Arvo Pärt, Francesco Tristano and Ott herself. Her collaboration with Demirel results in an album-length digital video installation accompanying the recital, taking the audience on their own virtual journey and creating a wholly original concert experience.
