Kym Alexandra Dillon is an award-winning composer, pianist, and presenter currently based in Melbourne and Geelong. She is continuously engaged across a broad spectrum of genres and contexts, from contemporary classical composition, orchestration and arranging, through to jazz performance, accompanying, community choir leading and public speaking about music. Her original works have been commissioned by many presenters, including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Musica Viva, and Melbourne Recital Centre, and her music has been performed in Australia, the U.K., North America, Romania and Italy. Dillon makes her PFSMF debut with a recital of her brand new pieces that invite the listener to explore the mosaic of worlds that a single piano can conjure, celebrating the imagination and the piano’s power to evoke. Alongside, she presents works by Franz Liszt and Keith Jarrett, two artists whom she regards as greatly having influenced her sound. Dillon’s arrestingly beautiful compositions and mesmerising playing create an atmosphere of exquisite enchantment.
