342: Piano Day with Xenia Pestova Bennett & Karlheinz Essl, Sarah Angliss with Melanie Pappenheim and Sarah Gabriel + Jo Johnson & Hilary Robinson

  • St John's Leytonstone 825 High Road Leytonstone London, England, E11 1HH United Kingdom (map)

The piano can be a much undervalued mechanical instrument yet it can bring so much wonder into the world. On this afternoon we present it anew - listen and look to the skilled hands of Xenia Pestova Bennett reimagining Bach's most famous work with composer Karlheinz Essel (Gold.Berg.Werk), creating a sound that will surround you in a reflective space. Alongside this will be the live premiere of a new project combining improvisations, field recording and synth textures with Jo Johnson & Hilary Robinson. And we have the return of our favourite explorer and musical storyteller Sarah Angliss, who will be joined by vocalists Sarah Gabriel and Melanie Pappenheim, both of whom appeared on her soundtrack for Amulet, the eerie feature film debut from director Romola Garai.
