Kanga has performed several times at London Contemporary Music Festival, premiering Michael Finnissy's Hammerklavier – Part 1 and Alwynne Pritchard's Heart of Glass, as well as performing his realisation of Julius Eastman's Gay Guerrilla at London Contemporary Music Festival alongside Hind, Siwan Rhys, and Eliza McCarthy, which was later featured (uncredited) in video installation The Third Part of the Third Measure.
His Melbourne Festival performance of John Cage's Sonatas and Interludes was described in The Age as "a blaze of retrospective creative brilliance", while his 2019 Australian tour Piano Ex Machina was described by Limelight magazine as "a rewarding experience, rich in possibility, infused with curiosity and playfulness, and not afraid to explore conceptual and expressive horizons well beyond the boundaries of a traditional piano recital".
Kanga's research concerns the collaborative process between composer and performer, as well as technological interactions in new music.
