Guest Artist: Dr. Corey Hamm, piano
Pianist Corey Hamm is establishing a unique musical profile performing widely in North America and in Asia as both soloist and chamber musician. His CD of Frederic Rzewski’s hour-long solo piano epic The People United Will Never Be Defeated! (Redshift Records) won Spotify’s Best Classical Recording 2014, and Best Classical Recording at the 2014 Western Canadian Music Awards. He has performed the work over 80 times and many more performances are to come in 2018, the year of Rzewski’s 80th Birthday. Corey Hamm’s extensive work in the 1990s with the great French composer Henri Dutilleux will come to fruition in his plan to record Dutilleux’s complete works for piano in the near future. Among his other recording plans is a soon-to-be-released CD of solo works written for him by Keith Hamel, Jocelyn Morlock, Jordan Nobles, Dorothy Chang, and Scott Godin, and he will perform two works on a CD of the music of Jocelyn Morlock on Redshift Records.
Corey Hamm has commissioned, premiered and recorded over two hundred works by composers from all over the world. These commissions have been for solo piano, various chamber music formations as well as concerti.
