Chan Centre EXP presents Hania Rani on December 2 at 8 pm at Chan Shun Concert Hall
BORN IN Gdansk, Poland, pianist-composer Hania Rani is known for her ethereal sound that combines ambient, classical, and jazz music.
Now splitting her time between Warsaw and Berlin, the artist earned the Sanki Award for Most Interesting New Face of Polish Music for her debut album, Esja, a collection of songs inspired by the nature of Poland and Iceland that takes listeners on an acoustic journey across ice, tundra, mountain ranges, and bodies of water. The release also earned five nominations for the Fryderyki awards, Poland’s equivalent of the Grammys.
She made her vocal debut on her second album, Home, which explores the search for self upon leaving a familiar place. The album also features bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak.
Rani has also written music for film and theatre.
Often used in the same sentence as Nils Frahm and Ludovico Einaudi, Rani has a sound all her own.
As part of the Chan Centre EXP series, Rani will perform on Bechstein pianos provided by Showcase Pianos.
