As a companion event to the George Nuku sculpture residency in Volcano, pianist Meng-Chieh Liu explores night music of Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov, and Szymanowski. Gustav Highstein joins him for Schumann’s Romances for oboe and piano.
Just as the moon moves the tides of the ocean with invisible forces, music acts on the inner world of our imagination, emotions and feelings. George Nuku’s art creates beauty out of reclaimed plastic, preventing it from polluting the ocean. It raises awareness and at the same time transfigures a problem into beauty.
We present music which has bound people together and helped them to understand the intimate connections between themselves and their world.
There will be a short talk story following Mr. Liu’s performance
