About this Event
Join Us for a Lunchtime Recital!
Join internationally acclaimed Swedish concert pianist Professor Emerita Katarina Ström for an inspiring lunchtime recital exploring the profound connection between classical structure and modern minimalism.
Presented by Soundwaves Associates, Sakamoto Meets Bach: An Equal Music creates a captivating musical bridge across centuries. This curated program juxtaposes the mathematical counterpoint and spiritual clarity of Johann Sebastian Bach with the serene, evocative minimalism of the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. To complete the journey, the program features George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.
Whether you are stepping away from the office for a peaceful midday escape or are a dedicated lover of classical and contemporary piano, this performance offers a uniquely atmospheric, reflective experience.
