Alternating Currents - Intermedia Projects, working in collaboration with The Örly Museum of Hungarian Culture, is thrilled to present a performance of piano music by Hungarian composers by celebrated Bay Area pianist Sarah Cahill.
 

Sarah will be performing works by Hungarian composers  by Zoltán Kodály and Dora Pejačević, and Agi Jambor’s brilliant sonata "To the Victims of Auschwitz..”

The program will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2026 at 2:00 pm at the Örly Museum, 1720 Arch Street, Berkeley.

Admission to the event is free. Donations to the Museum are gratefully accepted. Due to limited space, reservations are required, and will be available after June 10 at cahill-reservations ℅ <elviraorly@gmail.com>

Alternating Currents Co-directors Jon Winet and D. L. Pughe add: “We couldn’t be more pleased to bring Sarah and the Örly together. Sarah’s “Spinet Farewell” 2020 concert at the Albany Bulb debuted our programs. We welcome her back with relish and anticipation.”

The Museum, located at 1720 Arch Street in Berkeley, is open on the second Saturday of each month from 2 pm to 4 pm. Admission is free.



 

Sarah Cahill, hailed as “a sterling pianist and an intrepid illuminator of the classical avant-garde” by The New York Times and “a brilliant and charismatic advocate for modern and contemporary composers” by Time Out New York, has commissioned and premiered over seventy compositions for solo piano. Composers who have dedicated works to Cahill include John Adams, Terry Riley, Frederic Rzewski, Pauline Oliveros, Julia Wolfe, Roscoe Mitchell, Annea Lockwood, Dylan Mattiingly and Ingram Marshall. Keyboard Magazine writes, “Through her inspired interpretation of works across the 20th and 21st centuries, Cahill has been instrumental in bringing to life the music of many of our greatest living composers.” She was named a 2018 Champion of New Music, awarded by the American Composers Forum (ACF).
