Chilly Gonzales’s Solo Piano series becomes a trilogy
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 4 June 2018
Chilly Gonzales is set to release his third solo piano album, cunningly titled ‘Solo Piano III’, on 7 Sep. Six years after its predecessor, and fourteen after the original ‘Solo Piano’ album, the third instalment arrives, he says, at “a more problematic inflection point”.
He explains: “Like its predecessors, it’s a mostly happy ending in C major, but there is more dissonance, tension and ambiguity along the way. The musical purity of ‘Solo Piano III’ is not an antidote for our times, it is a reflection of all the beauty and ugliness around us”.
Watch a decidedly dissonant teaser video here:
To coincide with the album release, Gonzales will play four UK dates, each featuring a solo piano performance and an ensemble section. Here are the dates:
7 Sep: London, Cadogan Hall
8 Sep: Leeds, Howard Assembly Room
10 Sep: London, Queen Elizabeth Hall
11 Sep: Manchester, RNCM
