ASL 2015: Pianist, Corey Hamm

Returning for a fourth year, we're thrilled to welcome back pianist Corey Hamm for Art Song Lab 2015.

A champion of new music, Corey is considered to be one of the leading interpreter's of Rzewski's The People United Will Never Be Defeated! and has even edited a publication of Rzewski's piano music.

It is an understatement to say that he is an avid commissioner; having commissioned, premiered, and recorded over 200 works from composers around the world. In a recent project, he and Erhu virtuoso, Nicole Li have endeavored to premiere and record a collection of newly composed pieces for piano and erhu, including pieces by 7 composers who have participated in Art Song Lab.

A fuller bio can be found on the UBC website, where he is an Associate Professor of Piano and Chamber Music.

Here is a recording of Corey performing at ASL2014.
