About this show

Pyramid Club is excited to present French pianist, organist, vocalist, improviser, and composer, Delphine Dora, alongside fellow countryman Tamagawa and Wellington's Amy Jean Barnett. -Born in Paris in 1980, Delphine Dora has cultivated a distinctive and intuitive musical language that bridges improvisation, folk, contemporary classical, experimental and electroacoustic music, as well as poetic expression.

Encompassing pipe organ explorations, genre-blurring song forms, piano compositions, and site-specific improvisations, her performances take place in venues around the world, from underground experimental spaces to historic churches.
