Resonances: William Fried, piano
3- 4:30 pm | Feb. 2. In the last few decades, French composer Philippe Manoury has been a pioneer in electroacoustic interactivity, while his solo piano music creates “analog” versions of this interactivity by exploiting the instrument’s potential for sympathetic resonance. Fresh from recording Manoury’s piano sonatas, Davidson’s William Fried features music of this sonic explorer along with miniatures by Debussy, Messiaen, and Murail. Free and open to the public. Sloan Music Center Tyler-Tallman Recital Hall, Davidson College.
