For the quirkiest and most enigmatic of full moons, Piano Lunaire welcomes pianist-composer Thomas Feng to the nanoSTAGE. The second set invites the fascinating (and Canadian) full moon fanatic, Jennifer King, whose recent album O Mistress Moon, won Classical Album of the Year at the 2023 East Coast Music Awards.

 

Each artist brings a unique set in honour of the Worm Moon, also called the "Crow Moon," the "Sap Moon / Sugar Moon" (Ojibwe), the "Sore Eyes Moon" (Dakota, Lakota, and Assiniboine),and The "Goose Moon / Eagle Moon" (Algonquin and Cree).

 

Thomas Feng has premiered the music of Toronto composer, Alison Yun-Fei Jiang (commissioned this season by Piano Lunaire). For March 2027, Feng presents the rarely heard Suites Borealis by mid-century Canadian composer and impactful figure in the development of music in this country, Barbara Pentland.  🪱🌕er King, solo piano)
