Mahani Teave

Perelman Performing Arts Center

Experience the enchanting melodies of Easter Island's only professional classical musician, Mahani Teave, in her debut U.S. concert tour at the Perelman Performing Arts Center. This special performance took place on September 28th at 7:30 pm, marking a significant moment in the Opening Celebration of PAC NYC. Mahani Teave, an award-winning pianist known for her chart-topping debut album and her role as a pioneering artist and humanitarian, presented an evening filled with the works of Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, and featured premieres by Chilean composers José Miguel Tobar and Alejandro Arévalo.

The recital, which ran for 95 minutes including a 10-minute intermission, was not just a showcase of Teave's natural pianism and genuine virtuosity but also a journey through her sincere, pure, and magnificent artistry, as praised by BBC Music Magazine. The program was divided into two parts, featuring classics from Johann Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Sergei Rachmaninov, alongside the ancestral melodies of Rapa Nui brought to life through Tobar's "I hē a Hotumatu’a" and Arévalo's "Suite Rapa Nui."

This event offered a Pay-What-You-Wish ticketing option, making it accessible for all to witness the breathtaking talent of Mahani Teave, whose performance not only captivated the audience but also highlighted her commitment to bridging the creative world with education and environmental activism.
