Performance
Eve Egoyan : SOLO FOR DUET is a deeply integrated virtuosic mix of sound, image, and unspoken narrative challenging traditional conceptions of piano and pianist, performed by Eve Egoyan. Animating the concert stage, SOLO FOR DUET is an innovative, multi-sensory journey leading its audience through layered emotional musical worlds; contrastingly introspective, startling, playful, poetic, and urgent.

SOLO FOR DUET also received development funds from the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council.
Eve Egoyan : SOLO FOR DUET premiered on June 19 and 20th at the Luminato Festival, Toronto.
