Swiss-based
Piano Seven was founded in 1986 by pianists
François Lindemann and Sebastian Santa-Maria.
The two pianists had been playing as a duo for six
years when they decided to carry out an experiment
which was meant only for one concert: that of gathering
seven pianists to play their own compositions especially
composed or arranged for seven instrumentalists. Success
was immediate and the overwhelming responses from
the audience resulted in a second concert and the
foundation of the ensemble.
While
all seven pianists possess a classical music background,
they trace their musical roots back to jazz. Both
jazz and classical aesthetics influence the group's
original compositions. Its works are evocative of
romantic, classical and modern European music, contemporary
jazz, tango and circus music with improvisation. Each
piece is conceived as a mini - concert for pianos
and soloists, emphasising the individual sense of
improvisation, composition and musical stage direction.
The performance also makes use of lighting to create
a magical atmosphere, enhancing the music of the gout.
Since
1990, Piano Seven has expanded its artistic
possibilities by inviting one or two soloists from
the classical or popular music scene to perform with
them in their concert series. These guests are encouraged
to exercise their influence on the music of the group,
generating the ideal which Piano Seven aims
for: a musical style that goes beyond the traditional
and existing concepts of what pianos can achieve.
