She has performed in recital at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, Place des Arts in Montreal, Merkin Hall in New York City, the Prague Spring Festival in the Czech Republic, the Madras Philharmonic Society in India, and Radio Zurich in Switzerland. She is an active composer, contemporary pianist and improviser, and has worked with such icons of twentieth century avant-garde music as John Cage, George Crumb, and Elliott Carter. Act 2: John Kameel Farah - solo piano & electronics John Kameel Farah’s music is a creative hybrid of improvisation, composition and electronic music. Simultaneously using piano, synthesizer and computer, Farah’s solo performances exist somewhere between the concert hall and an experimental DJ set at a dance club, mixing forays into free improvisation, jazz, electro-acoustics, middle-eastern modes, and ambient minimalism with genres such as Drum & Bass and Techno.
