VENDESTINY (album launch)

  • Melbourne Recital Centre 31 Sturt Street Southbank, VIC, 3006 Australia (map)

Launching the debut solo album of award-winning pianist and composer Kym Alexandra Dillon, VENDESTINY draws the listener into an imaginative and emotional inner world, all through the enchantment of a solo piano. Through her virtuosic and expressive language, Dillon transforms the piano into an orchestra and a lyrical, soulful extension of herself, traversing stylistic divides.

Each piece starts its life as a musical seed that blooms into a complete and ornate artwork, conjuring its own realm within which to explore and feel. Moving fluidly between classical, jazz, and contemporary genres, Dillon explores her personal reflections on self-discovery, the refuge of the imagination, the choice of gratitude in the aftermath of a relationship, and how our own lives and destinies are intricately intertwined with those around us.

As a special bonus, Dillon will also perform pieces from two of her greatest influences - Franz Liszt and Keith Jarrett, in addition to performing the entire VENDESTINY album.
