INTERLUDE: Harmony
The compositions of Harmony – the first album in Karen LeFrak’s four-volume Interlude project – deliver an ambient and moving soundscape, perfectly timed as we find our way forward with a sense of hope, strength, and renewal. The works for solo piano, performed by Jacques van Tuinen, offer a sense of grace and healing for the new and changing world ahead. The project includes visual pairings of each work.
“Karen LeFrak has exquisitely and beautifully crafted this musical gem aptly named Harmony. Her melodies are haunting, memorable and simply complex. Melody is king and Ms. LeFrak does not disappoint to even a nano second!!! Treat your ears and give Harmony a listen. You will be so glad you took my advice!!!”
“Listening to Karen LeFrak’s compositions, I am reminded why I have become so passionate about the compelling evidence for the positive effects of music on health and well-being.
