Welcome to Maryanne's online-home: Musician, Composer, Producer, Artist & Writer.



MARYANNE PIPER



Welcome to my online home.
You'll find further info about upcoming
projects, publications & releases, as well as
performance and workshop dates inside.



I hope to meet you at an event soon. Culture is pivotal in our human lives. It is who we are as a people & society, it shapes our thoughts &

perceptions. Without it, our world would be mere bricks & mortar,

our fellow man without empathy or understanding. Come out,

support live events & enjoy yourself while you're at it!

Till soon, Maryanne

SONIC TALA


SOUND - A UNIVERSAL SENSE. Poland, London, Germany, Australia. I'm excited to present a new workshop starting in September 2018 for children and their parents, as well as student and adult groups. How does hearing influence our mind, our perspective? Why do humans respond so profoundly to sound? We look at sound as a basic concept in our world: in music and language, in improvisation, in our daily lives, in the human body, in nature, in relation to society and his-torical events. We explore the frequencies present in our universe as neuopsychological and neurosensory factors, how humans organise and communicate with sound, as well as how sound and music can be used as a healing / developmental force in different social groups.

DAS JUDENAUTO & SCHNECK



Master Actor Ralf Grobel & Musician Maryanne Piper bring two very important literary works to audiences with soul-touching music, improvisation and an urgent human message most relevant for our current times. 'The Jew Car' by Franz Fühmann and 'Schneck' by Aleksandar Tisma touch on themes eerily repeating themselves karmically in today's world: persecution, prejudice, migratory escape, loss of identity. A potent warning to today's asleep society. Dates for 2018-2019 coming soon!


2018 / 2019

A programme of sumptuous music
in agile hands. Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale, lush works by Elena Kats-Chernin & Piazzolla weave silken threads in a sound world coloured by nostalgic arrangements from the world of Klezmer & joyful songs from South Africa.
