Inventions in Colour

Presented by Pickle Underground

Immerse yourself in the radiant imagination of virtuoso pianist Anna Sagalova, whose synesthesia transforms music into colour as lighting design opens a portal into her unique mind. J.S. Bach’s beloved inventions intertwine with contemporary creations by composers from Canada and Ukraine forming a luminous palette of colour and sound. Forced to flee her home in Ukraine, Sagalova has captivated Canadian audiences with beloved classics and rarely heard Ukrainian works. This concert reveals her extraordinary artistry and the vivid colours through which she experiences music. Composer Anna Pidgorna will guide you through the program, enriching your experience.
