Thurs 9/28: Hervie Syan Concert - 6 Portraits from the Twentieth Century engaged in musical form & Get Lit.

Hervie Syan

In tonight's concert, British pianist/composer Hervie Syan will present self- portraits of 6 Twentieth Century painters – Schiele, Rothko. Munch, Pollock, Freud and Klee. Audiences can observe and reflect on these whilst listening to music that engages the paintings. It is an opportunity to participate in an experience where painting and music co-exist, where identities between the painter, performer and observer find common ground and where boundaries between self and other can be identified. Performing on the piano and interacting with pre-recorded music, Syan brings imagination and culture to an event not to be missed.

Biography:
Hervie Syan, born of Indian and British parentage in 1972, is a classically trained pianist and composer. Rather than performing the music of others, Syan brings jazz styles, Indian and classical music into his own musical language. Since his first major performance in 1997, Syan has performed extensively throughout Britain, Germany, and Canada. Syan came to Taiwan to explore TAO philosophy and the principle of wu wei (absence of thought/ correct action.) He believes in the bringing together of different cultures and artistic mediums through compassion. Syan is currently working on his second CD as well as developing his new record label, ‘ynsarecords’. His first album, ‘an equality between expressions’, was released in 2003, and is a staggering artistic achievement in modern piano music.
