FT, Bachar Khalife & Pascal Schumacher :: piano/percussion/vibraphone

after his two performances of Messiaen’s “… des canyons aux etoiles” with the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra (one of which was praised by the New York Times‘ Anthony Tommasini), Tristano kicks off a series of three performances with Carl Craig and Moritz von Oswald at Cliff Bell’s Detroit tonight. The performances are the electronic music super group’s first performances in the US – “classical elegance with a free form jazz feel filtered through masterful and precise production”. Chicago and Brooklyn NY are next.

“The rising young pianist Francesco Tristano played the formidable solo part brilliantly. He had rhythmic bite and color galore, while bringing engaging impetuosity to the music. The audience that packed the small hall gave the performers a whooping, cheering ovation. How cool for the Hamburg Symphony to have played Roulette. New York has an inviting new space for contemporary music just a short walk from the Brooklyn Academy of Music.”

Francesco Tristano announces the one-night-only special performance of ‘Reunion – Goldberg Variations’ with Japanese dancers Saburo Teshigawara and Rihoko Sato on February 16th 2012 at 7 p.m. at Sumida Triphony Hall, Tokyo.

The program comprises Francesco’s own compositions ‘Hello’ and ‘Nach Wasser Noch Erde’, John Cage’s ‘In a Landscape’ as well as excerpts from J.S. Bach’s ‘Goldberg Variations’.

Tristano´s unconventional approach is shared by Japanese dancer and choreographer Saburo Teshigawara, internationally renowned for his performances spanning from classical ballet to visual arts. Teshigawara is the founder and director of  KARAS dance company.

Having had its premiere at the 2010 Laroque d’Anthéron International Piano Festival thanks to the festival’s artistic director René Martin, this performance marks the first reunion of the project in Japan.
