Jesse Myers brings a set of solo piano music by living American composers to the stage. Accessible, adventurous, uniquely American and urban – this program highlights the works of iconic minimalist composers as well as new music featuring acoustic piano and electronics. Myers has a strong interest in exploring the expanded possibilities of the piano. His recent concerts of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano have been featured on KingFM’s Second Inversion, Seattle Weekly, the Live Music Project, and were a part of The Stranger’s “Best Winter Concerts of 2017.” His recent work with the prepared piano has led to artist residencies at Cornish College of the Arts and Bowling Green State University in 2017.
