Join us at our Lunchtime Concert Series, featuring guest pianist Charlie Hooper-Williams.
Biography
American-British composer and pianist Charlie Hooper-Williams was a prize winner at the International Shostakovich Piano Competition and one of the developers of the app Shazam. He performs alongside a bespoke live projections system he has coded, creating real time visuals in response to each performance. His work has attracted critical and popular acclaim; described as "inverse film scoring", this "lovely, special, immersive show" (Elizabeth Alker, BBC Radio 3) combines intricate, virtuosic textures with moving and accessible melodies. Originally from the pine woods of Minnesota's Iron Range, he grew up near Chicago, studied at the University of Cambridge Centre for Music and Science, and now makes his home in Bath.
