Pianist Mabel Kwan is fascinated by sounds, contradictions, and our perception of what is familiar or strange. She is recognized for her work in experimental, classical, and improvised music. With a style that is detached and objective but highly personal and spirited, she brings a quiet intensity to her live performances.
Mabel plays with Ensemble Dal Niente, STOMACHS, Honestly Same, Em Spel, the Jason Roebke Quartet, and the Christopher Dammann Sextet on keys, accordion, and synth. She frequently collaborates with dancer and choreographer Ayako Kato. Mabel is a 2017 3Arts Awardee, 2018 High Concept Labs Artist, and 2020 City of Chicago Esteemed Artist.
