R. Andrew Lee - Four Quiet Preludes [excerpt]

The final offering in the season of Nick Storring-curated CMC Presents concerts brought Denver-based pianist R. Andrew Lee to town. His selections often mixed Satie-esque spareness with formal complexity, and in honour of this show's location, Lee brought some works by Canadian composers such as Ann Southam and Cecilia Livingston — but it was this piece by Anthony Genge that captured me most.

As of this writing, the archived livestream of the show is still available for you to view:

[Riparian Acoustics will be returning to curate next season's CMC Presents concert series as well, so stay tuned for more announcements there. In the meantime, there will be two RA co-presentations at this year's TONE festival, including Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Dustiny at the Jam Factory on Wednesday, June 12th and CVN with Koeosaeme, Korea Town Acid and Kat Estacio at Burdock on Monday, June 24th.]
