Second show added due to popular demand! One of the world’s most transcendent modern pianists, Hania Rani performs music from her extensive catalogue.

One of the world’s most transcendent modern pianists, Hania Rani, returns to Melbourne Recital Centre in 2025. Experience an evening of music from her extensive catalogue including her 2023 album Ghosts. Captivating listeners with her enchanting and ethereal sound, the acclaimed Polish musician and composer effortlessly blurs the lines between ambient, minimalist, and house, weaving rhythmic pulses beneath cascading melodies.

Featuring notable collaborations with Patrick Watson, Ólafur Arnalds and Duncan Bellamy of Portico Quartet, Ghosts blends a lifetime of musical experience into a distinct, cosmic soundscape. Drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Enya, The Smile, James Blake, and Pink Floyd, experience an unforgettable evening as Rani brings her unique blend of classical elegance and modern sensibilities to the stage.

‘Ghosts is a story about life and death, light and darkness, real and unreal. It’s an attempt to touch ultimate qualities and craft my own mythologies; to face fears, take a deep dive into things that scare me but also seduce me subconsciously. Ghosts collects all these things together, mixing the past, present and the future into a new sound of mine.’ – Hania Rani
