Dr. Brianna Matzke, pianist and founder of The Response Project, takes center stage at the American Sign Museum on May 5. This intimate concert experience, starting at 6pm, will showcase Brianna's solo piano performance, demonstrating the creativity that has arisen from her essential tremor diagnosis.

This evening features a solo piano performance of five newly commissioned compositions by Molly Joyce, Hanna Benn, Matthew Evan Taylor, Adeliia Faizullina, and Forrest Pierce, followed by a panel discussion exploring the project's themes of inclusion, accessibility, and personal expression. Each composer has their own unique connection to the project, which will be explored throughout the evening.

Bonus: Don't miss the TREMOR art exhibition, featuring artwork and sound installation by Britni Bicknaver and five artists from Visionaries + Voices. Exhibition opening on April 28 and running through the month of May -- for more information see (https://www.theresponseproject.org/tremor).
