Hania Rani & Ensemble present: Ghosts
The Polish pianist and composer, Hania Rani brings her ethereal album Ghosts, specially rearranged for a large ensemble.
Woven together from hundreds of sounds, flavours and stories this performance highlights the intricacy of Ghosts by the introduction of strings, woodwinds and brass instruments onstage.
The result of long-time collaborations and friendships as well as varied musical backgrounds the album is given new life. Rani sees this performance as a true representation of the record, whose orchestral and tangled nature insists on a deeper musical sound onstage.
On top of her contemporary classical influences this record reveals other inspiration like that of PJ Harvey, James Blake and Radiohead.
Hania Rani
Hania Rani is a pianist, composer and musician who splits her life between Warsaw, where she makes her home, and Berlin where she studied and often works. She has written for strings, piano, voice and electronics and has collaborated with the likes of Christian Löffler, Dobrawa Czocher and Hior Chronik. She has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in Europe - from the National Philharmony in Warsaw, to Funkhaus in Berlin, to The Roundhouse in London (where she made her debut at the Gondwana 10th anniversary festival last October) and at festivals such as Open’er, Scope Festival and Eurosonic. Her compositions for solo piano were born out of a fascination with the piano as an instrument, and her desire to interpret its sound and harmonic possibilities in their entirety and in her own way.
