Saturday, 2 July, 19.30 - world premiere, commissioned by the Jazz Festival Ljubljana

Gallus Hall

TO PIANOS: KAJA DRAKSLER & EVE RISSER 

Slovenia, France

Kaja Draksler, piano; Eve Risser, piano 

This joint project was destined to be. After the two compelling artists released their solo piano albums on Clean Feed, and have navigated further terrain in diverse regular and ad hoc contexts, the idea emerged to bring the two thrilling young pianists together. The JFL commission surprised neither the musicians nor the public. Eager to do something special and new, the musicians leaped at the opportunity with wholehearted dedication. Rather than in a more intimate venue, To Pianos will perform on the Festival’s grand stage, thus creating a more glamorous setting for improvised and original new music. (bb)
