Matt Keegan, Vienna Dreaming

An elegant suite of electro-acoustic salon music, Vienna Dreaming is based on the life of Keegan’s Great Grandfather Heini Portnoj who arrived in Australia in 1940. A Viennese pianist and Austrian refugee, Portnoj’s discovery of a new country and wistful longing for his homeland is strikingly recounted through a contemporary lens.
