Eve is a pianist whose performance interests encompass extremely contrasting sensibilities, from rigorous interpretation of a score to free improvisation. She also explores other art forms and technologies in relation to the piano. Her disc Simple Lines of Enquiry, music by Ann Southam, was selected as one of “Ten Top” classical discs by Alex Ross of The New Yorker magazine (2009).

1. What are we interrupting (i.e. what music-related activity are we taking you away from to write this)?

I have woken up early, before my family rises, full of the day’s thoughts of things to do (Thursday, May 23).

2. What, if anything, are you most looking forward to as an audience member between now and September 7?

I most look forward to Luminato's production of Feng Yi Ting by composer Guo Wenjing, directed by my brother.

3. How about as a music maker/player?

Exploring my own creative work/composition – this path shifting away from but complementing my artistic practice as an interpreter of new works is funded by a Chalmers Arts Fellowship I received this year.

4. What are you already preparing for musically beyond the summer? And (how) do your summer plans tie in with these longer term plans?

My most exciting summer project is a residency at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island, working together with composer Linda C. Smith on a new work for solo piano which will be premiered on tour in the spring of 2014.
