Parisian pianist Ivan Ilic has been busy since his last visit to Northern Ireland. In addition to launching his new CD, he made his acting debut in two French films. One of these, Izak's Choice by Luc Plissonneau, a short film, will be screened at the end of the recital.
The film is a love story about a young frustrated piano soloist and his student, Lucie. The film has a deep connection to music, in particular Godowsky's virtuosic 'Chopin Studies'.
The recital will also include music by irreverent French composer, Erik Satie. Satie’s gently melancholic Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes are among the most beloved works of classical music. The recital is rare opportunity to hear these iconic works in concert.
