Kathleen Supové, Pianist
“What Ms. Supové is really exploding is the piano recital as we have known it, a mission more radical and arguably more needed.” Anthony Tommasini, NY Times
In May, 2012, Supové received the John Cage Award from ASCAP for “the artistry and passion with which she performs, commissions, records, and champions the music of our time.”
Ms. Supové annually presents a series of solo concerts entitled THE EXPLODING PIANO. In this series, she has performed and premiered works by a Who’s Who of contemporary music. The Exploding Piano is a multimedia experience using electronics, theatrical elements, vocal rants, staging, and collaboration with artists from other disciplines. She has performed with Yamaha Disklaviers, laptop orchestras, robots, and XReality. Her most recent recording is “Eye To Ivory” on the Starkland label, with works by Guy Barash, Dafna Naphtali, Randall Woolf, Nick Didkovsky, and Mary Ellen Childs, which has been receiving glowing reviews and constant radio play. Upcoming projects include a cross disciplinary, theatrical production about MIGRATION.
In December 2019, Ms. Supové received her second ASCAP Plus Award for her work as a composer. She has also been commissioned by Ladies First, Composers Concordance, and Bargemusic, among others.
