A double-bill tour featuring Australia's foremost post-classical pianist/composers
Synopsis
Pianist/composers Luke Howard and Nat Bartsch are at the forefront of the growing post-classical piano movement in Australia. Their beautiful original music draws influence from classical, electronic, film, minimalism and jazz and has had a powerful impact on people from all walks of life. For this special double bill tour, Luke and Nat each perform a set of their music, joining forces at the end for a special collaboration – blurring the lines of composition and improvisation, acoustic and electronic. This tour will celebrate the release of new music by both artists.
Short Review
We are at a point where jazz can incorporate the crystalline, the pure and singing … This is exceptionally expressive, finely articulated playing.
