Thursday, October 19, 2023
4:30 PM – 5:45 PM
Where:
Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts
Room: Jennifer Velva Bernstein Performance Hall
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Eve Egoyan is one of the world’s most sought-after interpreters of contemporary new music and is recognized as being one of the 25 greatest Canadian classical pianists of all time.

Duet For Solo Piano unfolds over a one-year period as Eve defies the traditional conceptions of piano and pianist on a journey to find her own voice. Born in Victoria B.C. Canada, Eve is the daughter of Armenian artists who emigrated from Cairo. The film weaves the past and present, the personal with musical moments, exploring the events that have shaped Eve and left their mark on who she is today.

Beautifully photographed and crisply edited, the film offers rare insight into the creative process and the complexity of developing new work that pushes the boundaries of art, instrument and self.

The Film is 68 minutes in length, followed by a 30 minute Q&A

When:
Wednesday, October 18, 2023
7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Where:
Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts
Room: Jennifer Velva Bernstein Performance Hall

Description:

Eve Egoyan delves into the space between what a piano can do and what Eve has always wished it could do. At its core is the live acoustic sound of the piano, but through the delicate intervention of technology, Eve tests (and teases) the edges of that sound, pushing it beyond the familiar, through the impossible, and into the extraordinary.

Join us for the film, Études for Augmented Piano, and a powerful live solo performance by Eve Egoyan.
