When pianist Eve Egoyan performs composer Ann Southam’s Simple Lines of Enquiry, you’ll discover why The New Yorker’s Alex Ross wrote that he couldn’t stop listening to this “immense, mysterious piano piece.”
Written especially for Egoyan, Simple of Lines of Enquiry has captured the imagination of music lovers around the world. Now the celebrated pianist brings this mesmerizing and meditative piece to the intimate Heritage Hall for its Vancouver premiere.
Egoyan is hailed as “a performer whose powers of listening cast a hypnotic spell over her audiences, opening their ears and hearts.” (National Post) If you’ve heard her live or on recording, you’ve been held spellbound by that power.
Composer Ann Southam (1937 - 2010) takes seemingly simple musical material and spools and unspools it into hypnotic -- and seemingly living -- aural tapestries.
When you listen to Southam's Simple Lines of Enquiry, it's like hearing the composer witness her ideas taking on a life of their own.
