Dr. Tanya Ekanayaka to perform for the prestigious ‘Pianists of the World’ series of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London
Dr. Tanya Ekanayaka, Sri Lanka’s outstanding and award winning concert composer-pianist also a musicologist and highly qualified linguist, is billed to make her third appearance at London’s famed concert venue St. Martin-in-the-Fields with a solo recital on the 25th of October this year. She performs on invitation by St. Martin-in-the-Fields and her recital will be for the prestigious ‘Pianists of the World’ series. This is the oldest running recital series of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, a series she performed for back in 2010 as well and founded by the legendary concert pianist, Dame Myra Hess. Dr. Ekanayaka performed to capacity audiences at this venue in both 2010 and again in 2012 and on both occasions the audiences were among the highest recorded at this venue. 2013 has seen Dr. Ekanayaka evolve a set of new compositions for solo piano to complete her maiden album comprising her own compositions. Her delightful programme for this recital includes Haydn’s Sonata in D Major Hob. XVI: 37, Beethoven’s Bagatelle WoO 59 “Für Elise”, Chopin’s Ballade No. 1 in G minor Op. 23, Debussy’s L’Ise joyeuse and the world premiere of two of her own compositions, ‘Vannam (Gajaga, Hanuma, Mayura) & You’ and ‘In Lotus: Olu Pipila With Moment’.
