Kelly Moran - Solo Piano Works….

Warp Records piano pioneer Kelly Moran joined by the shimmering strings of Motte

New York-based composer and pianist Kelly Moran has spent her career excavating the sonic possibilities of the piano. In the past decade, Moran has released numerous acclaimed albums through the fabled label Warp Records that have challenged the piano’s traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary approach.

An accomplished and highly sought-after composer, Moran has collaborated with visionary contemporaries including FKA Twigs, Yves Tumor, The Avalanches, Kelsey Lu, Oneohtrix Point Never, and classical musician Margaret Leng Tan.

Opening the evening with a support set, Motte, aka Anita Clark, is a violinist, composer and producer, based in Tāmaki Makaurau. She primarily uses violin, sampled sound / field recordings, synthesiser, and voice to create richly textured sound beds to convey otherworldly landscapes and preternatural impressions. Anita is a regular collaborator with the likes of Don McGlashan, The Phoenix Foundation, and many more.

Happening in the hallowed halls of Kahui St David’s on Khyber Pass, this is one of our wildcard offerings you won’t want to miss.

Doors open 7.30pm. Intermission with complimentary tea, coffee at 8.30pm.
