A conversation with openARTed host, pianist Monika Lozinskienė and pianist Anna Szalucka
On my 21st episode I invited my stage partner, pianist from Poland, currently living in London, Anna Szalucka. In the beginning of June, 2021 we were running a project in Modern museum in Lithuania where we performed S. Reich's piece "Piano phase" for two pianos. We called this project INSTALLATION "Piano phase" and on purpose hosted it in the museum so the listeners would have freedom to choose how long they want to listen to the music and if they want to listen to it at all. We performed 9 time during 5 days. We say with Anna that this project has changed us as artists and also gave us creative freedom which we have never experienced before. The piece "Piano phase" inspired us to have deep conversations about our vision, goals and needs as musicians. So on this last episode for this season you will hear all our ideas, concerns and experiences which occurred during INSTALLATION "Piano phase"
