Introvert/Extrovert: A Two-Piano Recital

Composer-pianist Matthew Aucoin and pianist Conor Hanick team up for an inventive and dazzling two-piano recital, featuring a new work composed by Aucoin for Hanick. In addition to Aucoin’s new piece, which is inspired by the luminous recent poetry of Ben Lerner, Hanick and Aucoin play a program divided into “introverted” and “extroverted” halves: in the former category, a mysterious and meditative work by Morton Feldman, and in the latter category, a selection of jubilant and thrilling music for one and two pianos by Gabriella Smith, Julius Eastman, and John Adams, including Adams’s ebullient Hallelujah Junction.
