I Use the Electric Piano So I Can Feel the Audience Breathing in the Room
Frida Bollani Magoni, a young pianist and singer, performs her innovative music using an electric piano at Blue Note in Milan, showcasing her artistry and emotional connection with the audience.
Frida Bollani Magoni, a 21-year-old emerging artist and daughter of renowned musicians, is set to perform at the Blue Note in Milan as part of her tour titled 'Simply Frida.' Known for her unique compositions and creative arrangements, she brings a fresh perspective to the jazz scene, blending personal and cover songs. Frida will be accompanied by British multi-instrumentalist Mark Glentoworth during this special live performance.
One of the highlights of her show is her choice to play an electric piano instead of the traditional acoustic version. Frida explains that this decision stems from both technical and emotional motivations, as the electric piano allows her to explore a range of sounds and textures that can enhance the overall performance. The advanced features of modern electric keyboards, including weighted and dynamic keys, also enable her to express herself more fluidly on stage.
With her innovative approach and connection to her roots, Frida aims to create a unique experience for her audience, allowing them to feel the music and the energy in the venue. As the daughter of acclaimed pianist Stefano Bollani and singer Petra Magoni, her performance not only showcases her talent but also signifies a new wave of artistry in the jazz genre within Italy.
