USA Album Launch Concert & Celebration of Kathleen Tagg & Andre Petersen
“Where Worlds Collide”
MONDAY, OCTOBER 2nd, 2017
YAMAHA ARTIST SALON in Midtown Manhattan, NYC
South African WINE RECEPTION at 6:30pm
CONCERT from 7-8pm.

Kathleen Tagg & Andre Petersen’s “Where Worlds Collide” brings together two of South Africa’s most celebrated pianists, one eclectic classical and one jazz artist, in a unique collaboration. The two met at the University of Cape Town in the mid 90s, and have been performing together since 2015.

Drawing from the rich sonic tapestries of classical music, nuances of South African jazz and traditional musics from sub-Saharan Africa, this duo exlodes the concept of what 2 pianos can sound like, making them sound like a bass guitar, goema drum, marimba and uhadi- plus mixing fully composed scores with improvisation in a bold, vital and highly entertaining mix. After two highly successful tours all over South Africa, they now perform in the USA and launch their album “Where Worlds Collide” in the USA.
