This September, celebrated pianists Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy will travel from London to bring their groundbreaking, site‑specific musical vision to Ballroom Marfa for a weekend of performances unlike anything seen—or heard—before in Far West Texas.

Fresh from sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall and immersive, place‑inspired performances at the Guggenheim Museums in Bilbao and Venice, Pavel and Samson arrive not to perform in Marfa, but with it. Their invitation? To listen—deeply—to the land, the wind, the light, and the memory that echo across this high desert terrain.

Over the course of three days and five performances, their residency will unfold across a series of public and secret spaces—some iconic, others almost forgotten. Each performance is conceived in dialogue with its setting, creating a kind of living score shaped by silence, architecture, texture, and time.

The music of Beethoven, Schubert, and Morton Feldman—among others—is chosen not as repertoire, but as resonance. Each work becomes a portal, a sonic aperture through which landscape and listener meet. This is not a concert series. It is a sonic pilgrimage: a constellation of fleeting encounters that blur the boundaries between classical form and radical place‑making.

With roots in the world’s most revered concert halls and a commitment to reimagining how and where we listen, Pavel and Samson have shaped a Marfa weekend that redefines what music can do.
