About the show
Live Piano Show - Where Is Home?
Pianist and composer Rieko Makita presents the launch of her debut EP, Where is Home?, at the beautiful St James's Sussex Gardens.
Surrounded by a bespoke lighting design, the performance blends classical piano and ambient sounds into an intimate and immersive concert experience. The show journeys through themes of migration, identity and belonging, with music from the new EP alongside audience favourites including ‘Haru no Sanpo’, a selection of classical piano works which has inspired Rieko's music (Ravel and Debussy) and a preview of brand-new, unreleased works.
