Centrediscs Album Launch : Shadow & Light
Three distinguished composers [Larysa Kuzmenko, Alice Ho, and Christos Hatzis] have enriched the double concerto form with beautiful works and a rare pairing of violin and piano, enlarging the Canadian and international classical music repertoire with Centrediscs’ latest release, SHADOW & LIGHT.
With all the stars aligned, it was our good fortune to document three wonderful Canadian contributions to this engaging form together with two soloists who possess vast experience with new music.” – Nurhan Arman, conductor
Please join us for a listening party and chat with the composers and artists on the album.
