Pianist and composer Chris Miggells performs live at The Albert Hall, in his hometown of Nottingham. Chris was invited back to give an uplifting performance for the Nottingham College Graduation Ceremony.
‘Clair de Lune’ by Debussy, was an inspiration for Chris to learn the piano. After hearing such breathtaking sounds of cascading arpeggios and intimate sections of poetic harmony, the endless possibilities of the piano were illuminated for him thereafter.
'Flight of The Phoenix' made its world premiere at this momentous occasion. This new composition is one of the leading pieces from Chris Miggells' forthcoming debut album ‘Synesthese’.
With ‘Synesthese’, Chris Miggells explores the theme of natural phenomena entwining with the neurological condition, synesthesia, which inspired him to write ten original piano pieces.
