The two curators of the project, Michael Hannan and Diana Blom, are composers but also keyboard players. Michael plays the piano, organ and harpsichord and has recently become a toy piano player; Diana plays piano, harpsichord and toy piano. Both have their music and playing released on CD. The project, Multiple Keyboards, explores the sound combination of keyboards through solo pieces for two instruments, duets, duos and quartets, with instruments in pure and mixed ‘consorts’. We are proud to be able to present the concert in the Theme & Variations piano showroom, a venue rich with keyboard possibilities. A recording of the works, which will also include other works for two carillons, multi-track harpsichord and organ duet, will be released in 2017 through Wirripang Media Pty. Ltd.
