In true Bison Noir fashion, when the house lights dim, the boundaries of genres blur. Immerse yourself in an all-encompassing evening at the landmark King Eddy, where Chris Andrew, Winston Choi, Carter Johnson, and Élisabeth Pion experiment with historic and modern works on a Steinway & Sons Spirio self-playing piano, responding and improvising to digital recordings in real-time.
Plus, don’t forget to join us for Reverberations: Chopin Reframed beforehand, across the street, at 7 p.m. in the National Music Centre’s Performance Hall.
