Four Preludes - Lūcija Garūta (1902 - 1977)

Nuit Blanche Winnipeg, in partnership with Virtuosi concerts and the Women's Musical Club of Winnipeg presents Six Pianos, an installation created for Nuit Blanche Winnipeg Illuminate the Night 2020. Six Pianos aims to unite musicians and audiences in a creative space, a welcome relief as concert stages have been rendered silent by COVID19. The conception of this performance comes from a desire to reveal the trance-like and meditative quality of minimalist music, and marry it with light to create a multi-sensory, connective experience for viewers and listeners.
