Hania Rani | Adelaide Festival

Join one of the world’s most transcendent modern pianists for an evening of music from her extensive catalogue including her 2023 album Ghosts. Featuring notable collaborations with Patrick Watson, Ólafur Arnalds and Duncan Bellamy (Portico Quartet), Ghosts blends a lifetime of musical exploration into a unique, cosmic soundscape, drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Enya, The Smile, James Blake and Pink Floyd. Originally from Gdansk (Poland) and now dividing her time between Warsaw and Berlin, Rani effortlessly blurs the lines between ambient, minimalist and house, weaving rhythmic pulses beneath cascading melodies. Her debut album, Esja (2019), a mesmerizing solo piano collection, garnered four Fryderyk Awards, including “Best Debut Album” and “Best Alternative Album.” Her follow-up, Home (2020), introduced vocals and subtle electronics to her repertoire, earning her the “Best Composer” accolade and a place in Rough Trade’s “Albums of the Year.” While she frequently performs in concert halls across Europe, it was standout live performances – such as the 2022 livestream from the prestigious Les Invalides in Paris that garnered over six million views, and January’s captivating Tiny Desk Concert – that have brought her to wider attention. Don’t miss your chance to at last experience the magic of Hania Rani live. Entry Cost Adult $99 - A Res $119, B Res $99 Member $84 - Festival Friends: A Res $101, B Res $84
