In recent years, the toy piano has made the journey from the nursery to the concert hall,
becoming a respected (if sometimes playful) part of the world of classical music. Phyllis Chen
is at the forefront of this wave of performers exploring the possibilities of the toy piano. With her
frequent collaborator, sound designer and video artist Rob Dietz, Chen will bring her toy pianos
to the Cinema's Sky Room for a performance of works by Cage, Chen, and others.
Phyllis Chen's artistic pursuits take her in numerous directions as a toy pianist, pianist, composer, and performance artist, leading
to her selection as a New Music/New Places Fellow at the 2007 Concert Artists Guild International Competition. Since discovering the
toy piano, Ms. Chen has become a trailblazer, performing original multi-media compositions using toy pianos, electronics and video
and works by prominent 20th century composers such as John Cage and Julia Wolfe.The 2010-11 season features the launch of the
Looking Glass ReWondered, inspired by Fairy Tales.
