He is well-known and recognised as a pianist who creates and performs music on the spot (for films), in addition to concerts, he conducts master classes on the same topic and releases albums.
According to the composer himself, the simultaneous creation of music and presentation to the audience gives the opportunity to achieve a unique contact with listeners, expressing what is seen in the film language in music.
The concert will take place as part of the PÖFF event “Music Meets Film”. The film screening and concert starting at 19:00 on Monday November 21 will be followed by a conversation between the film’s director Jaan Tootsen, composer William Goldstein and the audience.
