Piano: Machine of Dreams

Photographer Amy T. Zielinski's exhibition Piano: Machine of Dreams tries to capture the passion and pain that goes into a pianist's performance. Her images show the stress of rehearsals, pressure of live performance, and challenge of recording. Those photographed include Benjamin Grosvenor, Alfred Brendel, Stephen Kovacevich, Katia Labeque, Paul Lewis, Marc Andre Hamelin, Imogen Cooper, Nelson Freire, Leif Ove Andsnes and Richard Goode. 


The exhibition is being displayed at the Institut Francais, London from 4 to 6 April 2014, during this year's It's All About Piano festival at the Institut Francais. Performers at the festival will include Lucy Parham, Alexei Lubimov, David Kadouch and Pascal & Aimee Roger, with performances including premieres from Thierry Huillet and Nimrod Borenstein.
