Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

Keyna Wilkins will perform her solo piano and solo flute compositions and improvisations with loop pedal at MONA Nolan Gallery Sat 29th June 1-3pm. Entry included in museum entry. Wilkins was one of three national finalists in the APRA/AMCOS Art Music Awards for Individual Excellence 2018 and has performed around the world. While classically trained, she has branched into jazz, flamenco, live theatre and has studied intuitive conceptual improvisation with Tibetan Buddhist musician Tenzin Cheogyal. In her solo concerts, Wilkins explores concept of stream-of-consciousness improvisations alongside her fully composed pieces. Her improvisations are spontaneous musical ideas inspired by her myriad of music experiences with the aim of synthesizing into one voice, creating emotional connection and attaining a meditative state. Stylistically broad, inspired by Debussy and Jethro Tull in equal measure, her concerts will take you on a journey of impressionistic dream-like sequences alongside landscape depictions, existential philosophical quests alongside whimsical gestures.

Performers: Keyna Wilkins (piano, flute, loop pedal)
