House on Fire

August 17 @ 7:30 pm
$12 – $35

House on Fire is a bold and adventurous new music ensemble formed by pianists and composers Wells Leng, Richard An, and Andrew Anderson. Grounded in their shared roots as pianists but expanded by their versatility on a wide range of instruments—including cello, toy piano, melodica, percussion, and electronics—the trio brings a spirit of collaboration and curiosity to every performance.

This one-of-a-kind concert, curated by Richard An, features a rotating cast of guest musicians and a vibrant selection of contemporary works. The program explores everything from intimate chamber textures to theatrical, tech-forward experiments. Expect layered keyboards, fixed media, click tracks, and unexpected objects like turntables and wooden frog instruments—all staged with thoughtful lighting and visual design to enhance the immersive experience.

House on Fire (Wells Leng, Richard An, Andrew Anderson) presents a program of works for toy pianos, speaker cones, wooden frogs, twigs, and more. Featuring pieces written by ensemble members Leng and An, a large-scale work by Thomas Meadowcroft, a world premiere commission from Carolyn Chen, and performances by guest musicians Élise Roy on flute and Kevin Good on percussion.
