Poetry on Piano - music inspired by centuries of verse performed by the masterful singer/pianist Anton Koritni.

‘Poetry On Piano’ is a concert of original music composed by Anton Koritni. It draws its inspiration from the great poets of the western world, including William Blake, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats and Arthur Rimbaud. 

Some poems are set to music and turned into songs, while others are transformed into luscious, instrumental tone poems. Anton’s dynamic piano/vocal performance is set to electronic backing tracks. This is further enhanced with images on a large screen, which shows a real-time close up of his hands (projected from an overhead camera) and art-work which is relative to the music. 

Between songs, Anton shares the workings of his creative process and relates intriguing stories of the poets who provided the inspiration. With equal doses of strength and precision, Anton has combined his modern Blues/Jazz influences, with a love of 19th century Romantic piano-music to create a unique take on contemporary classical composition. 

‘Poetry On Piano’ takes you on a journey through the ages that is rooted in modernity from the perspective of an artist/musician who has much life experience. Immerse your senses in this transcendent musical experience. Surrender to it.
