BLUE HOUR by Alain Roche

BLUE HOUR is an acoustic solo piano concert that takes place at dawn - illuminated only by the light of the rising sun. A constantly changing process to which pianist and composer Alain Roche invites the audience to pause and experience the moment.
At the center of this experience is a continuous piano composition entitled SUMMER SOLSTICE.
The piece slowly evolves from WINTER SOLSTICE - a composition written in 2022 on an island beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway. This score is the culmination of an intense exploration of the cycle of the seasons, experienced over 182 consecutive sunrises under the open sky.
With BLUE HOUR, Alain Roche presents himself completely undisguised, without artificial staging - a play in the light of the dawning day.
