piano miniatures

Brief musical moments in which thoughts, feelings, moods, portraits, or fragments of something larger become audible—musical events condensed into compositional miniatures or seemingly improvised, expressive soundscapes.


In "piano miniatures," Berlin-based pianist Jan Gerdes presents a solo program of short piano pieces whose immediate succession emphasizes their aesthetic and stylistic differences. The rapid shifts surprise, unsettle, or connect, opening up new perspectives on listening and transforming the concert into a vibrant journey of discovery through sound and expression.


24 Piano Miniatures by Jonathan Harvey, Erik Janson, Nava Hemyari, Henry Mex, Nkeiru Okoye, Rainer Rubbert, Margarete Huber UA, György Kurtag, Chaya Czernowin, Sidney Corbett, Bongani Ndodana-Breen, Veronika Mayer, Meredith Monk, Johannes Sandía, Johannes, Sarah Nemtsov, Jan Gerdes, Verdina Shlonsky, Christoph Theiler, André Bangambula Vindu, Hilda Paredes, Peter Michael Hamel, Alyssa Regent and Andreas Staffel.
