Alice Sara OttPiano
One of classical music’s most creative minds, Alice Sara Ott begins the 2021/2022 season with the album release and an international tour of Echoes Of Life. Ott’s latest project marks her tenth album on Deutsche Grammophon, for whom she is an exclusive recording artist.
Echoes Of Life is Alice Sara Ott’s musical reflection on life, built around Chopin’s Preludes, Op. 28, and interspersed with seven works by the likes of György Ligeti, Nino Rota, Chilly Gonzales, Tōru Takemitsu, Arvo Pärt, Francesco Tristano, and Ott herself. Her collaboration with architect Hakan Demirel results in an album-length digital video installation accompanying the recital, taking the audience on their virtual journey and creating a wholly original concert experience.
The project's world premiere took place in London’s Southbank in November 2021, followed by dates at Paris’ La Seine Musicale, Munich Prinzregententheater, Lucerne KKL, Budapest MUPA, Antwerp deSingel, Klavier-Festival Ruhr, Lille Piano(s) Festival, plus a major tour in Japan in spring 2022. Echoes Of Life follows on from seminal albums such as Nightfall, Wonderland, and The Chopin Project, taking her total number of album streams to over 150 million.
In the 2021/2022 season, Alice Sara Ott performs with Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic with Patrick Hahn, KBS Symphony Orchestra with Christoph Eschenbach, with Camerata Salzburg and François Leleux. She performs Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand on tour with Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Franck.
