What if you could see music? Award-winning composer, pianist, and a developer of the app Shazam, Charlie Hooper-Williams invites you to find out. Join Charlie for a unique, water-inspired performance experience where sound and visuals come together in real time. Playing alongside Otto – a custom-built live projections system he coded – his music takes on another dimension, with visuals that respond directly to every note and gesture. The result is “film scoring inverted”, imagery supporting music rather than the other way around. This is a performance that’s both stunning and deeply human: intricate, virtuosic piano playing paired with imagery that amplifies its emotional core.
Raised in the forests of Minnesota and shaped by studies at Cambridge, Charlie’s music bridges the gap between classical tradition and modern innovation. His work draws on influences as varied as Nils Frahm and Max Cooper, combining intricate textures with moving, accessible melodies. Whether in a concert hall or a nightclub, his shows immerse audiences in a world where technology isn’t cold or distant but alive and collaborative.
Join Charlie for a performance that redefines what a piano concert can be.
