Tony Ann

Tony Ann, a Canadian pianist, presents a repertoire that blends his own compositions with piano reinterpretations. Between classical training and pop influences, he combines repetitive motifs, contemporary harmonic progressions and themes that evolve through variations. The concert emphasizes composition and the sound of the piano, featuring original pieces, interludes and a few arrangements of recent songs adapted for solo performance.

On stage, Tony Ann focuses on nuance and detail: silences, resonances and rhythmic contrasts. His pieces advance through small interlocking cells, shift from arpeggio to block chord, and invite a direct, undistracted listening. The right hand unfolds the melody while the left hand carries the pulse and the harmonic relief, resulting in music that is clear, current and accessible.
