Award-winning composer/pianist blends his expressive piano virtuosity with the harmony of color and rhythm. "Painted Music" by Jerzy Sapieyevski is a dynamic multimedia event in which a painter - in live performance - engages in a visual and musical dialogue with the pianist. The painter's brush generates sounds and rhythms while the painting evolves in the presence of an audience. The canvas becomes a musical instrument! The painter - a performing artist. The composer's inspiration owes its genesis to three great artists: Russian abstractionist Wassily Kandinsky - who saw music in colors; the Spanish surrealist Joan Miró - who often started work without a specific idea and let the painting “assert itself”; and the American Abstract-Expressionist, Jackson Pollock - who practiced spontaneous “action painting”. Sapieyevski’s design is a moment-specific, multi-layered composition in an entirely new performance format that transforms the relationship between musicians, artists and the public. The result is a groundbreaking and visionary expression of modern Art.
