88 Keys Open Many Doors

LA's fearless Hocket piano duo, heard in its New York debut, joins NY's fiercest new-music pianists in an evening of keyboard adventures. Adam Tendler explores unintentional sounds in Charlie Sdraulig’s subtly choreographed collector, and repurposes the piano in Marina Poleukhaina’s for thing. Hocket teases the ebonies and ivories in Joseph Michaels's Together in Perfect Harmony and Michael Laurello’s Touch. Molly Herron's trio resonates in her exquisite Full Blood Moon. Soprano Sarah Brailey is joined by pianist Blair McMillen in Sojourner Hodges’s eloquent Fire Command Room, while interloper harpist Bridget Kibbeygives life to Iranian composer Karen Keyhani’s Nightly Monologue II.
