" A pianist of penetrating intelligence and pellucid technique " The New Yorker
Serbian American pianist Ivan Ilić (EE-van EE-litch) enjoys a unique place in todayâs musical landscape thanks to his unconventional repertoire and multifaceted approach. By combining performing with writing, producing radio and video, and drawing upon key interdisciplinary experiences with visual art, acting, and the neuroscience of learning, he develops new audiences for unfamiliar music.
His eclecticism is reflected in his choice of musical projects, which range from the notoriously difficult Chopin/Godowsky studies, to the delicate abstraction of Morton Feldman , to his most recent enterprise: the rediscovery of music by Beethovenâs Czech friend and contemporary, Antoine Reicha (1770-1836).
