The Turning of Sound

Welcome to The Turning of Sound!

The Turning of Sound, an evening where music spirals inward, pulling the listener into shifting tides of melody and stillness. And at the center, the piano, grounding yet constantly in motion. It’s an intimate, immersive performance with Anna Cavolo Tedesco.
