Pianist, Ann DuHamel, presents PRAYERS FOR A FEVERISH PLANET, a tour that kicked-off as part of a multi-day musical series at the University of Minnesota Morris during Earth Day Weekend 2022 at the HFA Recital Hall, University of Minnesota Morris.
In the fall of 2019, pianist Ann DuHamel was feeling despondent about the climate crisis. Wanting to do something, she launched a call for scores, asking composers to share their works about climate change. More than 170 composers in 35+ countries sent 200+ discrete movements of music for piano and piano/electronics, on the themes of water, grief/anxiety, shadows and light, time, human “progress,” trees, hope, and more. Out of those submissions she choose Frank Horvat’s Heat Island as one of the compositions to perform on her climate tour.
Pianist Ann DuHamel’s performances have been praised as poetic and “…a delight for the ears and the soul” (Encuentro Universitario Internacional de Saxofón, Mexico City). She has performed in 18 countries, including concerts at Sala Verdi in Milan, Italy; the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland; the HoGent Conservatory in Ghent, Belgium; and Trinity College in Oxford, England.
