 :\n\nDescribed as “…a tour de force…” (Boston Musical Intelligence
 r)\, pianist and composer Shi-An Costello (b. 1987) has trailblazed a path
  truly unique\, with repertoire that spans the aesthetic sensibilities of 
 four centuries. Shi-An's music explores the idea of "transcription\," real
  and imaginary\, as a failed attempt to recover lost or forgotten sound. H
 is music addresses larger\, thematic ideas like existentialism\, race/ethn
 icity/class\, biological evolution\, and the natural world.\n\nShi-An's mu
 sic has been premiered\, commissioned or featured in recent years at Asian
  American Jazz Festival of Chicago\, Tribeca New Music New York\, Contempo
 rary Arts Center (Cincinnati)\, Alliance Française de Chicago and has bee
 n programmed by groups both nationally and internationally.\n\nShi-An curr
 ently works as a session pianist for IFC Films\, IMAX Films\, and independ
 ent Chicagoland productions\, and in the classical/contemporary classical 
 realm\, has performed with members of Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal\,
  Toronto\, Minnesota\, Milwaukee\, Winnipeg\, Honolulu\, and Thunder Bay S
 ymphonies\, the Lyric Opera Orchestra of Chicago\, Fulcrum Point New Music
  Project\, Dal Niente and Sound Icon. Shi-An is currently staff pianist fo
 r DePaul University and the Musical Pathways Initiative of the Chicago Sym
 phony Orchestra\, among others.
