Music

In the afternoons, in the garden, the piano sounds at regular intervals,

without being imposed. Works by the introverted French composer Erik Satie unfold in space and time.

Vexations: Musical events of self-mockery

A work by Erik Satie that proposes persistent repetition as a mode of performance-listening

Tonia Makatsianou presents a series of musical events

for solo piano, lasting 20–30 minutes,

repeated in the afternoons in the garden.
