Born in Malta, of Irish and Welsh descent, Tricia Dawn Williams is committed to contemporary music, multimedia and new technologies. Her concerts transform the piano recital into an interdisciplinary performance featuring video-art, electronic music and extended piano technique. Williams is one of the first concert pianists to collaborate with developers and composers internationally on the application of motion-capture technology. She uses the MYO band interface on her forearms to manipulate and trigger electronic music in real time during her concerts. As a dedicated promoter of new music, Williams has commissioned, premiered and recorded numerous works.
Williams’ international performances include: Les Invalides (Paris, France), Béla Bartόk Memorial House (Budapest, Hungary), Deutsche Oper am Rhein (Dusseldorf, Germany), The Royal Danish Theatre (Copenhagen, Denmark), Den Jyske Opera (Aarhus, Denmark), Arena New Music Festival (Riga, Latvia), European Capital of Culture (Pafos, Cyprus), Festival International de Carthage (Tunis, Tunisia), John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts (Washington DC, USA), Cape Town Festival (Cape Town, South Africa) and Riverside Theatre (Sydney, Australia).
