A chart of solar system constellations

An interstellar exploration into the role of the soloist, technology in music, and the future of music-making.

Constellations聽is a bold collaboration with BCMG, French contemporary music ensemble L鈥橧nstant Donn茅, and pianist composer-technologist Zubin Kanga as 鈥榗yborg pianist鈥.

Together,聽they聽have co-commissioned new works that peer into the future and honour the legacy of Pierre Boulez in his centenary. BCMG and L鈥橧nstant Donn茅 perform side-by-side, extending the piano with new technologies including digital instruments, sensory devices, and electronics.

Zubin Kanga also performs a new solo work commissioned through his music technology research project, Cyborg Soloists, combining聽a range of keyboards and sensors that explore new ways of creating and shaping sound.

Expect a concert of works for solo piano and ensemble full of sounds known and unknown, journeying into the future of contemporary聽performance.
