Henry Wong Doe released his new album Perspectives, featuring “DOM” (labelled as Home in the tracklist) by Leila Adu-Gilmore on November 9th.
The album features recent commissions for solo piano featuring works by Gemma Peacocke, Leila Adu-Gilmore, Alex Taylor, Poulima Salima, Leonie Holmes, and Penelope Axtens.
“This album celebrates the artistry of six New Zealand composers. The recent pandemic presented significant challenges to musical artists, causing many to reflect on their values and identify what is most important to them. As we come to appreciate the importance of interpersonal connection, music becomes increasingly important as a way to bring people together and express our shared humanity.
In 2022, I invited each composer to write a work illustrating their perspective on recent times, and it has been wonderful to discover their unique voices and sensibilities through music.” – Henry Wong Doe
The album was released on Rattle Records and can be streamed or purchased on Bandcamp.
Doe will be performing the premiere of the work at:
