There’s a legend in our midst. ☄️
“What Ms. Supové is really exploding is the piano recital as we have known it, a mission more radical and arguably more needed.” Anthony Tommasini, NY Times
In May, 2012, Kathleen Supové (
@kathyexploding ) received the John Cage Award from ASCAP for “the artistry and passion with which she performs, commissions, records, and champions the music of our time.”
Yamaha Artist Kathleen Supové has premiered, promoted, and recorded works by a Who’s Who of today’s composers, both established and
emerging. She annually presents a series of solo concerts entitled THE EXPLODING PIANO. She has performed with Yamaha Disklaviers, video, poets, laptop orchestras, robots, and XReality. To date, Ms.
Supové has 5 solo albums, here in chonological order: Figure 88, Infusion, The Exploding PIano, The Debussy Effect, and Eye To Ivory. As a composer, Ms. Supové has been commissioned by Bargemusic, Ladies First, The Illustrated Pianist project, Kyo Shin An Arts, the
Brooklyn Arts Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts. In November, 2023, she presented her own 3-D graphic score composition, SWARMING MECHANISMS OF CONFINEMENT, dealing with
objects we would want with us if we were confined to bed or on our deathbed, funded by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. A second NYSCA grant is currently allowing her to create the work
BLURRY BARDO, approaching the subject of decay, memory, passing on to the next life, all surrounding difficult scores she has performed thoughout her career.
