Einaudi's Piano by Candlelight

Following last year’s sold-out Edinburgh Fringe show, award-winning British pianist Matthew Shiel returns to lead you towards musical enlightenment. Japanese anime Spirited Away, Ludovico Einaudi’s contemplative piano pieces and Philip Glass’s soundtrack to the Academy award-winning film The Hours meet Japanese Zen stories, alongside digital animations designed by acclaimed Shanghai artist and Disney illustrator Emma Yitong Shen. Beautiful and life-affirming music is interwoven with Japanese storytelling, inspired by the wisdom and philosophy of Zen Buddhism to create a hypnotic and profound musical experience.
