Being able to tell a story through music is the skill every great performer possesses. While perfecting their skills, the UK piano students will be using technology to project visual images that portray the emotions they “decoded” in their musical pieces. These images will help to engage sight, sound and imagination to create an immersive experience and fully enrich the audience’s perception of the music.
