Andrew Zolinsky (piano)

Andrew Zolinsky marks the centenary of the death of Debussy with a recital exploring the composer's fascination with Eastern culture. He particularly admired Japenese woodblock prints and Javanese Gamelan music, which he first heard in 1889 at the Paris Exposition Universelle and left a deep and lasting impression. Alongside Debussy, Andrew presents works by contemporary Japanese composers which, in a recital of fascinating juxtapositions, explore similar aspects of space, time and spirituality.

Also on display at the venue with be an exhibition of traditional Japanese Nui-do ('The Way of Embroidery') by Monique Clasesen.
