Agnese Eglina plays Laura Gustovska's Silk at Alliance Francaise de Lusaka

Last night the international Latvian pianist Agnese Eglina played Laura Gustovska's 'Silk'. This is a very new and different piece from this Latvian composer. It is a great privilege to see this performed anywhere, let alone in Lusaka. Should you have the opportunity to see this, do not miss it. It is recognisable by the piano being, well, played all over: a piece of silk is draped on the strings of a grand piano and the hands and glass beads are used to play the strings inside the piano and the keys outside. The pictures shows Agnese collecting the glass beads after the performance.
