Music by Philip Glass, Meredith Monk and Moondog sits alongside works by JS Bach in this recital by Monegasque-Sri Lankan pianist, Shani Diluka. Described as “one of the greatest of her generation” (Piano Magazine), Diluka’s captivating performance connects across the centuries, from the energy of the American minimalists to Bach’s expressive and technically demanding solo keyboard works. Diluka was appointed to the prestigious French ‘Knighthood for Arts and Letters’, and performs regularly at concert venues including Philharmonie de Paris, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Vienna Konzerthaus.
