I think for me, I experience music as a powerful
antidote to suffering and to ugliness. And I
feel a strong desire to help create beauty. And
as a pianist, I find beauty in variety, in new
ways of seeing and hearing. in exploring the
full capabilities of our instrument. Playing
new music for me is like being a part of a living
process. Something new has to come out of something
old. It's the only natural way and I think new
music does this for me and I enjoy also the community
of new music. It becomes less about us, I think,
as performers and more about what we are presenting.
