The composer/pianist presents piano solos and chamber works including Variations on a Theme of Bill Conti and songs based on poems by Villon, with Steve Elson, sax, and Christopher Berg, piano. Hannan’s work is distinguished by an infectious counterpoint and a drawing-in-the-air impression. He has written widely for theatre and dance, most notably for Robert Longo, Eric Barsness, Jill Kroesen, Eric Bogosian, Bill T. Jones, and on a commission for the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra.
This performance was part of the Roulette Piano Festival of 1992.
