Late Night Music: Six Meditations 

PERFORMER

Jonathan Dove · composer & pianist

OVERVIEW

Towards the end of 2021, Jonathan Dove — one of the most performed living opera composers today — was asked to write music to accompany poems about silence. This led him back to earlier pieces: one from a 1993 dance score, another from a film about architect Carlo Scarpa. Reimagined for solo piano and joined by four new works, they became Late Night Music: Six Meditations for a quiet mind. Gently immersive and sustained by pedal resonance, the music flows like ripples in still water — a nocturnal journey into stillness, introspection, and the gradual arrival of morning light.

In this special performance, the composer himself takes to the piano to perform his own works.
