Second group: Spectral Scriabin - Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. in Sinclair Auditorium

"Award-winning Georgian pianist Eteri Anjaparidze and renowned American lighting designer Jennifer Tipton have teamed up to devise a stimulating music-theatre event, which received its recent premiere at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York City.  In this unique production, Anjaparidze performs Alexander Scriabin's mystical piano music, which simultaneously interplays with Tipton's intricate color and light display.  Andjaparidze has gained international recognition as an exceptionally versatile and insightful musician whose artistic undertakings embrace all genres and styles of piano repertoire.  A Grammy nominee, she has extensive knowledge of Scriabin’s compositions. Tipton is an award-winning lighting designer whose novel and effective ideas about lighting have turned countless Broadway shows, ballets and operas into hits."
I couldn't find a video clip for this group, only reviews from the show they performed in New York.  The show sounds exciting and different.
