Rachel Grimes & Nils Frahm

Event information

Rachel Grimes
Influenced by Erik Satie and Michael Nyman, as composer and pianist of the the pinoeering indie group – Rachel's – the album 'Music for Egon Schiele' was her primary work.

'The gorgeous tones and deep swells of her grand piano radiate. The result is so intimate you feel as if you are alone with her in a room or in a field when she injects the somber drama of her compositions with field recordings of birds and insects' (Time Out Chicago).

Nils Frahm
A masterful improvisational pianist Nils Frahm is poised to become something of a sensation. Raised on a musical diet of classical and jazz, Frahm started playing the piano as a young student of Nahum Brodski, himself a student of Tchaikovsky’s last protégé.

'Emotionally charged piano music which always errs toward the melodic side of melancholy' (Mojo).
