Live from the Mead Witter School of Music presents:
Deirdre Brenner and Sibila Konstantinova, piano
In the wake of NASA’s recent journey around the far side of the moon, pianists Deirdre Brenner and Sibila Konstantinova present a multimedia performance exploring our collective relationship to the galaxy. The concert combines the original 2-piano version of the celebrated seven movement work, The Planets, by composer Gustav Holst (composed prior to the better known orchestral version), with a world-premiere 2-piano arrangement by Dobrinka Tabakova of “Tectonic” from her Earth Suite, composed originally in 2018 for the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Each movement of the program will be presented alongside an original video exploring the ideas which inspired these compositions. Tabakova writes that “the overwhelming force of Nature” is at the heart of the concept of her Earth Suite, while Holst was inspired by a deep interest in astrology. This collective video project will include original works by Blake Barit, Charlie Borowicz, Philip Denvir, TJ Hill, Claudia Krogmeier, Tina Rose Rea Meister and Blue Rachapradit.
