Nicolas Hodges, piano

​
Perhaps the greatest living pianist of the European avant-garde, Nicolas Hodges makes his solo recital debut in Los Angeles. His program alternates between canonized giants of high-modernism such as Brian Ferneyhough, Rebecca Saunders, and James Clarke, and works focused on the relationship between speech and instrumental sound by the Austrian composer Peter Ablinger.
