Summary

🎢✨ How can nineteen tiny piano miniatures blossom into one of the most expansive, collaborative, and award-winning projects of our time? Welcome to Season 6 Episode 3: The World of MICROVIDS β€” Composer & Advocate for Women in Music, Stefania de Kenessey. In this episode of The Piano Pod, I sit down with Stefania de Kenessey, a composer whose works have been heard at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, La MaMa, and around the world. Her latest project, Microvids , began as nineteen piano miniatures written during the pandemic β€” and has since grown into a global tapestry of music, poetry, improvisation, orchestral performance, and film. In our conversation, Stefania opens up about: βœ… The surprising origins of MICROVIDS and how β€œtiny nothings” became her richest work βœ… Collaborations with pianist Donna Weng Friedman, violinist Curtis Stewart, narrator Krystal Joy Brown, and the New Jersey Youth Symphony under Helen Cha-Pyo βœ… Award-winning films inspired by MICROVIDS, including Silent Cry βœ… How MICROVIDS can connect with youth orchestras and piano students around the world βœ… Her advocacy for women in music, her Hungarian roots, and her expansive multi-genre style β€” from opera to dance to provocative video works like Menstrual Rosary πŸ‘‰ Stay tuned until the end for rapid-fire fun, candid reflections, and exclusive performance excerpts from MICROVIDS, Unorthodox, and Menstrual Rosary. https://www.navonarecords.com/catalog/nv6751/ 🌐 Stefania's Website 🎬 Watch Silent Cry (award-winning short film) 🎬 Watch Menstrual Rosary (winner of 33 film awards) [The Piano Pod] πŸ’– Subscribe TPP on Substack to unlock exclusive content 🎡 Listen to our Sounds of Inspiration – Piano Works from Season 6 playlist πŸ“« Subscribe to our newsletter 🚨 Latest News: https://linktr.ee/thepianopod 🌐 Website: h…
