A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "Minore Taksim (impro)"
The Rebetiko Era album by The Eastern Piano Project
The position of the piano within classical studies is linked to its emblematic role in the history of Western music, as well as with the respective conservatism that derives from this. An alternative approach, having the present as a pillar, causes, therefore, a resurgence of interest in young students, pianists and the audience. The Eastern Piano Project focuses on urban popular repertoires, moving on two inter-dependable axes: the creation of a unique pianistic repertoire, and the development of a performance practice, both of which have identifiable characteristics.
