Piano Magic, formed as far back as 1996. Since then, they've released 12 long players and multiple singles and EPs on a plethora of independent labels. For the past 6 years, the band has been made up of both English and French members, though their music has the unmistakable air of classic late 70's/early 80's coldwave. Typically for a Piano Magic record, it's a restless beast; a record that swings wildly between Marrakesh, Eastern Europe, Sevilla and early 80's Manchester without breaking sweat.

Zubin Kanga challenges the sonic and dramatic conventions of the piano recital with new and recent works from Australia and the UK. The recital features a newly commissioned work by Michael Finnissy that alternates between music inspired by Pre-Classical composers of the mid-18th century and 20th century modernism. Also receiving its premiere is David Gorton’s Orfordness, inspired by recently declassified reports of secret military research in Suffolk. The recital also features innovative new work by Australian composer Alex Pozniak as well as a performances of Claudia Molitor’s playfully theatrical Tango and Rolf Hind’s groundbreaking virtuoso work, Towers of Silence.
