GéNIA – Things I Never Told You

A solo piano evening in London by the pianist GéNIA, combining works from the classical, jazz and neoclassical repertoire with personal stories from a concert pianist's life.

GéNIA moves between solo piano and spoken accounts of a performing life in this programme, which looks at what lies behind the concert platform. The stories are told on stage and beyond it, so the playing and the commentary form one evening.

The repertoire covers several centuries. Works by Scarlatti and Mozart sit alongside music by Philip Glass, and jazz-infused pieces by Gershwin and Fazıl Say are included. GéNIA also performs original neoclassical compositions, and the stories told between pieces are presented as material audiences have not heard before.

The evening suits listeners interested in piano music across classical, jazz and contemporary styles who want the performer's own account alongside the playing. Toulouse Lautrec is a venue in London that hosts concerts and shows, and this event is one of its musical programmes.
