Berio&#x27;s Wasserklavier is one of six nature-inspired Encores that he wrote for piano solo. Each of these Encores has a unique texture and style that lend themselves to the given inspiration. Chopin&#x27;s &quot;Raindrop&quot; prelude is one of the most popular of his 24, and in this version by the performer, a contemporary connection is made to a popular song with a similar titular theme. Ravel’s Miroirs suite is a virtuosic set of five pieces each dedicated to a different member of Ravel’s artistic friend group, with each piece also reflecting off of various images of nature. Finally, Stravinsky&#x27;s Firebird Suite, arranged for solo piano by the Italian pianist Guido Agosti, ends the programme in a tour de force of color and magic - both the good and evil kind.About Seán Morgan-Rooney:Seán Morgan-Rooney is an Amsterdam-based pianist from Northern Ireland.

Picture by Marco BorggreveThis concert is a hybrid studio-concert. This means it is a real concert with an audience, but also a livestream/recording session. In order to create a studio-concert feel, both the musicians, audience and camera crew will be mixed and distributed evenly throughout the room.
