CLARA SHANDLER & RÓISÍN ADAMS

You know we love piano / cello evenings. Clara Shandler is teaming up with her friend and longtime collaborator Róisín Adams. It promises to be smart and thrilling. Clara writes 21st Century lieder, haunting melodies which skate just to the romantic side of edgy, on which sit direct, socially resonant lyrics, and under which pulses deeply soulful playing. She also composes instrumental pieces which have a punky classical feel, eschewing the stark minimalism and dissonances of modernism while feeling absolutely contemporary. Róisín is an imaginative and immensely prolific composer, and her piano performances often showcase her dynamic, masterful improvisations, which range from ethereal to richly textured.
