Luciane Cardassi Live in Concert

Artist bio:

Luciane Cardassi is a versatile pianist and creative artist. For 20 years she has been exploring the contemporary music world through collaboration and performance. Her resulting repertoire includes numerous premieres and close collaborations with composers, performers and other artists from around the world. Luciane is an innovator, always ready for adventures in the frontiers of experimental music or collaborative inter-arts projects, including pieces for her voice, electronics, video, improvisation, and storytelling. Luciane is an avid supporter of new music from her home country, Brazil, as well as her adopted country, Canada. She is proud of her contributions to the music scenes in both countries, bringing their music to the international milieu. Her current collaborations with Canadian harpsichordist Katelyn Clark – the “rockeys duo” – and with Brazilian pianist Ana Claudia Assis – “Duo CardAssiS” – share the impetus to develop new repertoire and audiences for these combinations of instruments, extending repertoires to include works with electronics, poetry and video. Beyond performing the music being created today, Luciane also researches and performs major piano pieces of the past sixty years for new audiences. Visit: www.lucianecardassi.com
