So your new album is called Kaleidoscope.
Can you share more about the programming of this album and the inspiration behind it?
This album gathers women composers from all over the world and they're amazing works for piano.
So I'm very excited to perform works by Gabriela Ortiz, by Yoko Kano, by Carolyn Morris, by Enkei Rwokoye,
by Dobrinka Tabakova, Carmen Rodriguez, well you know composers from all over the world.
And it's so exciting to bring all these influences together to see how diverse and how beautiful
are all these different expressions, musical expressions for all around the globe
and promote contemporary music too, which is something that is very important for me.
So yeah, this is the premise of Kaleidoscope.
So diverse cultures, diverse perspectives, diverse musical styles coming together in this pianostype.
For our upcoming episode, we welcome Dr. Isabel Perez-Dovarro,
international concert pianist, advocate for women composers, and champion of global sustainability.
I had a pleasure of interviewing her on the very day of her new solo piano album, Kaleidoscope, was released.
So honored that Isabel chose the piano pot to exclusively share the news of this exciting release.
Women composers are underrepresented in programs, but then women composers from
certain continents are underrepresented from this underrepresentation.
So you know it's also scale and there's such amazing music that it's really what Kaleidoscope
wants to bring is, hey here you have these extraordinary composers all around the globe,
you have these beautiful cultural influences that come together through this work.
So you know as a performer I think part of my responsibility is to you know bring this music
to life and present this music. I think that's part of what we have to do and we have that
responsibility to make sure music is alive, to make sure that you know music still is being created.
It's also promoting this contemporary music and also promoting this underplayed, unfortunately,
music that is not as played as it should and that could create interesting and really relevant
role models for younger generations for sure.
Dear TPP friends and listeners, don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear Isabel's
inspiring journey to advocate women composers from all over the world.
