Kaleidoscope Series

WMP Concert Hall

welcomes

Kaleidoscope Series

"What do you see when you look through a kaleidoscope?

A fountain of colors in perpetual motion, infinite possibilities, endless combinations, transformation…

When I was invited to create my own concert series at the W.M.P. Concert Hall, I thought about what feelings and experiences I would want to share through the performances. The words “connection”, “diversity” and “fellowship” immediately came to my mind.

Four concerts, each focusing on a specific theme, from classical to jazz, touches of folk tunes, the music of emerging composers and the works of painters and photographers…

Being from a mix of cultures and having had friends from all around the world, I like to think that music has no boundaries. You will hear a connecting thread in all of our concerts, the magical transformation of sound and rhythm throughout the centuries and different countries…

I am excited to have my wonderful and talented friends participating in this project. Music making is an act of love and sharing. I am inviting you to be part of this journey with us!"

Alexandra Joan, artistic director and pianist
