Kaleidoscope Night
A Twist of the Kaleidoscope: Sam Perkin Curates an All-Piano Evening at Bello Bar for Kaleidoscope Night
Dublin’s finest music series, Kaleidoscope Night, returns to Bello Bar on Wednesday, October 7th, for another exciting bespoke performance. This month, featured artist Sam Perkin returns to curate an exclusive evening that marks a major first in the series' history: for the first time ever, Kaleidoscope Night will focus entirely on a single instrument—the piano—played by a diverse collection of Ireland’s most prominent and interesting pianists.
The evening's program centres around a selection of Sam Perkin’s original preludes, performed directly by the musicians to whom they are dedicated, alongside classical, contemporary, and traditional works.
