Piano Space - September 27th

Matias Dal Pos, instrumentalist and composer.

Coming from a farmer’s family in a small town in Argentina, Matias began playing guitar at age eleven to later pick up an old keyboard. Matias decided to study audio engineering and music, encouraged by his brother who would constantly show unfamiliar artists and books.

His Italian roots marked his style of music making, inspired by classical artists and film composers.

After dropping the conservatory of music and moving abroad, he now resides in London, UK. He explored new genres where he started blending acoustic instruments with electronic sounds.

He now reaches into the neoclassical, his concerts are a cinematic soundscape that encourages a sense of calm and allows for personal introspection. His music becomes a quiet space away from the noise, a private and vulnerable moment, shared with others in the room.

Self-taught pianist, Ô Lake, whose name refers to Lamartine’s poem “Le Lac”, composes sensitive music that speaks in a hushed voice. Delicate and sincere pieces, where the piano becomes a language of intimacy, melancholy and nuance. Each piece seeks less to impress than to move.

Rooted in a neoclassical aesthetic with pop inflections, the composer’s universe unfolds without rules or boundaries. Solo piano, electronic textures, vintage synths, orchestral arrangements, the writing reinvents itself with each record, guided by a constant search for emotional truth. His contemplative and modern pieces bewitch and console.

Through a discography that now totals more than 15 million online streams, the artist forges a singular path, quietly and deliberately. Each composition is imagined as a refuge, suspended spaces where time seems to slow down, with simplicity as the horizon, in the most demanding sense of the word.

With his new solo piano album, simply titled HOME, Ô Lake speaks to the ears of ghosts and offers a celebration of the invisible and the unsayable. Yet although stripped bare, these new pieces remain hopeful and almost always end up gazing toward the blue sky.

Welsh composer, pianist and film composer Gwenno Morgan is a distinctive neo-classical artist from Wales creating cinematic music shaped by Welsh folk-inspired melodies and jazz-influenced harmonies. Working across concert and screen, she blends piano, strings and subtle electronics to build immersive sound worlds that invite listeners into her world. Her self-released debut album Gwyw (2024) marked the arrival of her artist project and established her signature sound, while her film scoring work was recently recognised with a Best Composer nomination at the BBC It’s My Shout Awards.
