MINI MINI FEST
Curated by Timo Andres
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Minimalism has never been as simple as it sounds. Pianist, composer, and curator Timo Andres joins concertnova for a two-part festival tracing the movement from early, process-driven minimalism to the expansive post-minimalist music of the 1990s and 2000s.
Andres is an ideal guide to this repertoire: a composer whose work combines rigorous musical structures with an instinct for color, momentum, and surprise, and a pianist equally at home interpreting his own generation and the composers who shaped it. He will perform solo piano music, including a Glass étude and selections from his own work, while leading concertnova through rarely heard chamber music by European, Canadian, and American post-minimalists. Together, the programs consider what happened after repetition broke open: how later composers stretched, disrupted, and personalized the minimalist language.
SPECIAL GUEST: Pianist, composer, and festival curator Timo Andres

FEBRUARY 19: SUBSCRIBER AND DONOR EVENT
On Friday, February 19, Andres and concertnova musicians present an intimate house concert at the Lloyd Taft House, an award-winning modernist residence designed by architect Charles Gwathmey. The program is curated in direct response to the house itself — process-based works and pieces built on flexible instrumentation, chosen for their own architectural logic: repetition as structure, structure as form.
This event is reserved for concertnova subscribers and donors. Additional details will be shared directly with invited guests.
