Once upon a time, there was a pianist who lived far, far away. Mahani Teave was born on Easter Island, or rather, as the locals call it, Rapa Nui. Francemusique talks about the “virtuoso pianist” from Easter Island and her debut album.

American Public Media’s Performance Today host Fred Child chats with Mahani Teave about her journey and her new album and documentary.

Classical Music Magazine, from the BBC, said about Mahani Teave’s debut album: “There’s genuine virtuosity, without one note of bluff, bluster or vulgarity….wide expressive range exquisitely controlled and intensely poetic…sincere, pure and magnificent artistry.”

“Tthis isn’t your ordinary “Piano Recital!!” Concertonet says, “Perhaps being raised on a remote island in the South Pacific brings with it a nuanced suavity. Mahani Teave’s style has a gauzy, breezy trim in the sails. What a splendid sendoff.”
