Film screening “Howard Riley – Cheerfully beyond category”
Cath Longbottom’s film weaves concert and rehearsal footage around an extensive interview with veteran free pianist Howard Riley as he reflects on his career, evolution and ethos. The documentary will be accompanied by a concert film of Riley’s last ever collaboration with Keith Tippett at the Steinway Spirio Two-Piano Festival at London’s PizzaExpress Soho in March 2016.
