PLEASE NOTE IN THIS CONCERT BEATRICE IS STANDING IN FOR PIANIST PANOS KARAN.
THE AMERICAN PIANO
Beatrice’s American Piano intertwines the worlds of classical and jazz in a concert of music by African American, American Indian and American European composers.
Whilst Gershwin is often performed by concert pianists Beatrice branches out further, bringing transcriptions of Art Tatum and Jelly Roll Morton to the stage. She will also perform a stupendous piece of minimalism by John Adams, and works rarely heard live in Europe by African American composer Betty Jackson King and Navajo tribe composer Connor Chee..
