Morton Feldman: Unsettled Memory

with Eliza McCarthy & Friends

An image of Eliza McCarthy

Join acclaimed pianist Eliza McCarthy, Apartment House and friends for an intimate evening exploring Morton Feldman's hypnotic soundscapes, where time softens and memory shifts.

Morton Feldman’s music invites us to listen differently. Quiet, spacious and unpredictable, his works unfold in ways that feel both familiar and strange, asking us to let go of expectation and simply be in the moment.

This programme spans three decades of Feldman’s work. Early piece Projection 2 introduces his experimental approach, where no two performances are ever the same. In Three Voices, soprano and tape intertwine in a fragile, haunting dialogue that plays with presence and absence. The evening closes with Triadic Memories, a mesmerising solo piano work where patterns seem to repeat, yet never quite return as expected.

Performed by leading interpreters of his repertoire, this is a rare chance to experience Feldman’s unique sound world live, music that unfolds like memory itself, elusive and quietly transformative.
