A musicpaintingLIVE performance of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring as part of a programme ‘AWAKENING’ by pianist Reinis Zariņš, 17 June, Hanzas Perons, Riga. (See Press release: Awakening – Atmošanās). As a music painter, Maryleen Schiltkamp has collaborated with various musicians internationally, but the core of her live painting performance art was created in artistic partnership with the Latvian pianist Reinis Zariņš. In this collaboration – musicpaintingLIVE – the pianist and the painter co-author visual creations that combine live music with painting on canvas, following the musical movement and the colour of sound directly on stage during a concert. Reinis Zariņš and Maryleen Schiltkamp are known for their unusual programmes, with a repertoire including Bach/Busoni, Chopin, Franck, Ravel, Messiaen, Medtner, Gubaidulina and Shostakovich. They have performed at festivals including in Baltic Art Form (London), Winteravonden aan de Amstel – Hermitage (Amsterdam) and Cēsis Arts Festival (Latvia). Most recently a ground-breaking musicpaintingLIVE concert performance took place at Hanzas Perons theater in Riga (Latvia) with a striking concept of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring as part of the programme Awakening by Reinis Zariņš in June 2023. The LiveART Foundation has been involved in the Video production of The Rite. Concert-video, 17 June @Hanzas Perons, Riga View article – View interview
