Emo Phase

Dan Thorpe in focus

Lots of people have an emo phase, Dan Thorpe’s just lasted a bit longer.

It’s his thirtieth birthday, he’s a concert pianist, but he still just wants to shred sad, queer bangers. Join Forest Collective and piano maverick Dan for a night of high-energy, genre-defying music for piano and ensemble, revisiting repertoire from the last ten years of his career, plus world premiere concerti by Cat Hope and Dan himself.

Presented by Forest Collective, Midsumma Festival and Abbotsford Convent for Convent Live
