Bridges Collective is excited to announce its involvement in the 4th International Stretto Piano Festival. The festival features performances around the world on pianos with keys narrower than today’s conventional 6.5 inch octave.
The core of our mission at Bridges Collective is the belief that music and music-making is a universal human experience. We believe that everyone, regardless of differences of culture, nationality, income or size should be able to participate in listening to and making music. When we learnt of stretto pianos, we could not think of a more worthy cause to champion: Pianos with narrower keys that make it possible for people with smaller hands to be able to perform the music they love without their physical limitations being a handicap.
Please join us in exploring the wonderful world of stretto pianos in our next concert which invites us to dream of imagined worlds … including ones where being able to access an instrument sized right for your body is commonplace.
Artistic Director Brenna Wee, on piano, will be joined by two wonderful artists, Diana Wuli on cello and Rozanne Mentzel on flute, to bring you a program of Dreams of Another Now, playing on a DS5.5® (5.5-inch octave) keyboard.
