Pianist Alexandra Dariescu wants to challenge the traditional concert format and reach out to new audiences who might not have had the chance to enjoy a classical music concert before. She has devised a live multi-media performance piece for piano featuring a ballerina and digital animation, from the most cherished The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky.
