A recital of piano works

Friday 17thOctober, 7:30PM

 

 

 

Alchemy of Sound 

A graduate of the prestigious Conservatorio Santa Cecilia in Rome in both piano and composition, Mro Chev. Pawlu Grech (b.1938) has a corpus of piano compositions to his name which span the entire period of his long activity as a composer and are the products of a complex process of alchemy of sound. 

This recital will trace this process chronologically starting with Due Movimenti and Quaderno II, two relatively early works which show Grech’s profound respect for and debt to the modern and classical musical tradition; through to Rhapsoidìa, a programmatic work bearing poetic references to the cyclical infinity of life; continuing with the apocalyptic Divertimento for Pianist bidding farewell to a defunct musical past, and finally culminating in the timeless and ideal sound world of Ideograms Books I and II. These works will be performed by four pianists, namely Ramona Zammit Formosa,Tricia Dawn WilliamsNicholas Vella Laurenti and Ruth Sammut Casingena, all of whom owe much of their musical and pianistic formation to the teaching and mentoring given by Mro Chev. Grech over many years.
