Southeast Asia on the Piano by Charisse Baldoria

May I invite you all to support a project by a good pianist friend of mine who is launching her 2nd CD which features Southeast Asian music.

For the first time, a CD album will gather together piano pieces inspired by gong-chime ensembles (gamelan) from Bali, Java and the Philippines, including a world premiere recording of Philippine National Artist Ramon P. Santos' Gong-An suite for piano.

Performed by Charisse Baldoria, the album was created to develop appreciation for the beauty and richness of Southeast Asian music and culture.

The music was written by composers from the Philippines, Europe, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, for solo piano, two pianos, and a trio with violin and percussion.
