Elliot Galvin and Craig Taborn in Paris

In the summer of 2018, the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris played host to two exceptional, polyvalent musicians. 

First up is Elliot Galvin, the then 27-year-old British artist who was already being hailed as one of the most original, rhythmic pianists of the new generation. He uses the entire piano to create unique soundscapes – wood is tapped, strings are plucked, keys are manipulated with rare creativity and versatility. Galvin is a multi-instrumentalist whose curiosity lies at the heart of his sounds. He also experiments in electronic music, plays the African kalimba and the micro-tonal melodica (an instrument capable of producing micro-intervals that he invented). For his first solo performance in France, Galvin is utterly spellbinding, improvising from start to finish on a singular and gripping musical voyage.
