Following an extraordinary sellout tour last year, Hania Rani returns to Australia for an exclusive one night only performance at Unsound Adelaide during Illuminate Adelaide on Saturday 11 July at Hindley Street Music Hall.
One of the world’s most transcendent modern pianists, Hania Rani (Poland), has emerged as a genre-blending nonconformist blurring the lines between classical, jazz, ambient and house.
Born in 1990 in Gdańsk, Poland — a city renowned for the Solidarity resistance movement — Hania began playing the piano at age seven. She eventually trained as a classical pianist in Warsaw and later pursued studies in Berlin, where she began to explore electronic music.
She is a quiet star — more interested in connection than fame or spectacle – and constantly seeks the new in her work, challenging herself and her audience in an active process for renewal and regeneration. Chilling Bambino acts as her alter-ego, an ever-evolving project that foregrounds her love of the Prophet synth taking the listener on a sonic adventure through dark-tinted electronica and hypnotic rhythms.
Unsound Adelaide is curated by Unsound Artistic Directors, Mat Schulz and Gosia Plysa, presented as part of Illuminate Adelaide. Hania Rani presents Chilling Bambino by arrangement with Arts Projects Australia.
