TEODORA STEPANČIĆ: New Piano Music from The Hague

The Old Stone House
in Washington Park, 3rd Street & 5th Avenue
Park Slope, Brooklyn – Map
718-768-3195

Musical Ecologies continues Thursday March 9th with Brooklyn-based pianist and composer Teodora Stepančić. A native of Serbia and a recent arrival to New York City, Stepančić seeks works for the piano that speak in the voice of the outsider, a hushed voice, that does not try to draw attention to itself, and that stresses generosity, attentiveness, intimacy, spirit and focus. This focus also informs her own compositions, into which she often incorporates theatrical and visual elements. She will perform a one-hour program of piano works by Assaf Gidron, Hollas Longton, Tom Aldrich and her own For pianist and helperformer. The evening will begin with a conversation hosted by series curator Dan Joseph

Musical Ecologies is a monthly symposium on music and sound held every 2nd Thursday (except where noted) at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Curated and hosted by composer Dan Joseph, each event typically focuses on a single artist who presents a work or project either in the form of a talk or lecture, a multimedia presentation, a performance, or combination thereof. Each presentation is preceded by an extended conversation with the curator and audience.
