The latest event in our CREATE artist-led programme is the culmination of the Disabled Artist Network’s Beyond Borders, Beyond Barriers project featuring new work by six composers from England, Scotland and Wales composed for outstanding Welsh pianist Siwan Rhys, a leading exponent of experimental contemporary work for her instrument: (https://www.siwanrhys.co.uk)
Through a series of creative workshops six new pieces of music have been created exploring the sonic possibilities of the piano as an instrument that can be prepared and played in various ways and the convergence of these multiple sound worlds with other technologies, voice and digital instruments. Going beyond borders in innovative new directions the pieces, devised through co-creative collaborative processes, encompass the unique ways in which neurodivergent, hearing & visually impaired and physically disabled artists navigate and experience their internal and external worlds.
The pieces are being recorded at Tŷ Cerdd the national Welsh Music Centre based in the Millennium Centre in Cardiff and performed at a concert at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. They will be released by NMC Recordings in 2024.
