Casimir Liberski's Songs of His Life - Belgian Jazz in KL

"Songs of my life"
With his brilliant technique and captivating improvisations, the pianist takes the listener on a journey through multiple worlds. For this series of solo piano concerts, Casimir Liberski proposes a selection of musical pieces that have marked his life since childhood, inviting us on the emotional path down the "songs of his life". 

What interests him lies not in theory, but in "that which cannot be learned". To him, theory is merely a method, perhaps what mathematics is to architecture; a system to help in the elaboration of a structure. While this method may be necessary and even beautiful, the artist must always rely on intuition and sensitivity. One can certainly "learn" anything, but there will always be something to elude explanation: feeling. It is precisely that feeling that musicians seek to convey through the intimate reality and shared time of a concert.

The "songs of my life" repertoire features the "small masterpieces" that have marked the pianist's personal history. Referring to a sense of collective memory as well as childhood’s nostalgia, they are picked from jazz, soundtracks, classical music and pop. Undoubtedly though, a certain approach to musical language seems to rise above personal tastes and memories. Could this be Ornette Coleman's "sound grammar", carrying its universal emotional meaning? This would be Casimir Liberski's hope, bidding on the inescapable and precious mystery that lies at the heart of any "masterpiece", whether big or small.

About Casimir Liberski
Casimir Liberski was born in Brussels, Belgium in 1988. He distinguished himself as leader of his own trio at the age of 13 and has since gained significant recognition and acclaim in the European and International jazz scene.
His heart however was always leaning towards Jazz and the tremendous joy he’d get from improvising and composing incorporating this variety of musical elements surrounding him.

In 2006, Berklee College of Music generously welcomed Casimir with the exclusive Presidential Scholarship. He was the first European to receive this award. In America Casimir sought guidance from great jazz artists (Brad Mehldau, Danilo Perez, Craig Taborn, Jason Moran, Greg Osby, Steve Hunt, Vijay Iyer, Sal Mosca, Masabumi Kikuchi, Fred Hersch…) to name a few. 
In 2016, Casimir Liberski was invited to perform along with visual artist Jean-Luc Moerman at the prestigious Queen Elisabeth’s Music Chapel in Belgium for their first non-classical performance ever. That same year Casimir was the 3rd prizewinner at the Parmigiani Montreux Solo Piano Competition and was mentored by Marcus Miller, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Trilok Gurtu and Yaron Herman at the Montreux Jazz Academy in Lausamme.
