Philip Thomas plays Feldman

A one-off performance of Feldman's piano music, plus 2 complementary film screenings

Hypnotic, shimmeringly beautiful and endlessly fascinating, Morton Feldman's piano music is conceived on a huge scale yet unfolds almost like a whisper, using the most simple of ideas.

Pianist Philip Thomas, a leading interpreter of Feldman’s music, gives this one-off performance to complement rare screenings of short documentary profiles of two of the US’s greatest visual artists, both featuring incidental music by Feldman.

With screenings of film documentaries

Jackson Pollock (PG, 1951)

Willem de Kooning: The Painter (PG, 1964)

Directed by HANS NAMUTH & PAUL FALKENBERG; music by FELDMAN

Presented in partnership with Another Timbre Records to launch Philip Thomas’s latest recording of Feldman’s works for solo piano, and Sensoria, the UK’s Festival of Music, Film and Digital Media.
