Unfolding: John Kameel Farah CD Release Concert

One of Toronto's most eclectic pianists and improvisors, electronic composer JOHN KAMEEL FARAH has gained a diverse following across several genres, merging his backgrounds in modern classical, free improvisation, middle-eastern and forms of electronic dance music into one unified voice.

Farah brings his tour-de-force album "Unfolding" to his NYC debut; an 80-minute concerto for piano and electronics filled with cascading keyboard work and lush electronic orchestration that is a winding tour of our interior cultural-musical psyche - at one point even merging classical Arabic forms with Dubstep. A virtuosic keyboardist simultaneously using piano, computer and synthesizer, Farah's performance of "Unfolding" is a symphonic experience, existing somewhere between a classical concert hall, free jazz improv and an experimental DJ set.

Farah has performed across Europe, North America, the U.K., Middle-East, South Korea and Mexico. In 2008 he opened for Kid Koala at the Guelph Jazz Festival, and gave a concert atop the Aztec Great Pyramid of Cholula with visuals created by astronomer John Dubinski. In 1999 and 2002 he visited the Edward Said National Conservatory in the West Bank, giving performances and masterclasses in Ramallah, Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Farah studied composition and performance at the University of Toronto, where he received the Glenn Gould Composition Award twice. In 1998 he performed the complete solo piano works of Arnold Schoenberg in Toronto. Later he had private lessons with Terry Riley in California, and studied Middle-Eastern classical music at the Arabic Music Retreat in Hartford.
