Dear Friends
2019 was a special year where different goals have been set. One of these was to work on the music of great Haitian composer Amos Coulanges.
Another project I have been working on and that I hope to bring to fruition this year is the recording of a new Cd with the music by fellow contemporary Colombian composers. Some of the pieces have been dedicated to me which I consider an special honor for me to perform.
There are many other projects in the making but for the moment and beginning this new year I want to leave you with a taste of the music by Amos Coulanges
Please stay tuned for updates on all these projects! And may this year be a beautiful one for each and every one of you.
Thanks you always for your support!
Yours in music, Irene
