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 Kanno, by Carolyn Morris, by Nkeiru Okoye, by Dobryńka Tabakowa, Carmen Rodríguez. 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 from all around the globe and promote contemporary music too, which is something that it's very important for me. So yeah, this is the premise of Kaleidoscope. Diverse cultures, diverse perspectives, diverse musical styles coming together in this Pianistry.

For our upcoming episode, we welcome Dr. Isabel Perez de Varo, 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 Pod with Yukimi Song 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 Isabelle's inspiring journey to advocate women composers from all over the world. Join us tomorrow, October 22nd, at 8 PM Eastern time for an engaging conversation streaming on The Piano Pod's YouTube channel and available on all major podcast platforms. Tune in and let this conversation spark new insights into your musical journey.
