For one night-only on Wednesday, March 8, visionary artist Nicole Brancato connects poetry, piano, and painting in an enchanting and immersive concert experience at Monet's Garden The Immersive Experience at 30 Wall Street.
Brancato will improvise at the piano in real time while narrating the visionary poetry of French poet Marceline Desbordes-Valmore. Moving seamlessly through styles from impressionism to jazz and beyond, Brancato dives into the piano, and its strings, as she explores the depths of each poem and fuses sound, sight, and storytelling.
There will be two performances on March 8 at 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $50 including admission to Monet's Garden Immersive Experience, as well as Brancato's performance.
New York Magazine calls Brancato "brilliant" and "a piano virtuoso" raved The Daily Gazette. Metropolitan Opera Guild said "The way she played will stay with me forever."
Nicole Brancato makes music to unlock wonder. Fascinated with contemporary expressions of our shared human experience, the NYC-based pianist merges curation, composition and performance in collaborations across the arts. Described as "brilliant" and an "immense talent" (New York Magazine and Connect Savannah), Nicole is "redefining the very notion of classical music" (Atención San Miguel). Her credits range from the Guggenheim Museum, Rai Italia (television network Italy), and the Banff Centre, as well as Lincoln Center, HBO, and NPR. As an educator, Nicole's extensive experience includes the Gesellschaftshaus Magdeburg, Germany and the Sphinx Organization. In 2022, she joined Seven Hills Chamber Music Festival as Director and a distinguished Artist in Residence.
