Za klavir: for the piano
ALBUM
Za Klavir: For The Piano is a collection of 26 original compositions that blend minimal, contemporary, classical roots with elements of Balkan folk.
The collection merges traditional and contemporary elements. The six winter days spent recording the album crystallized for Nina the guiding force of its maturation: to weave together a sense of belonging from the disparate sources of inspiration and influence from which she draws.
It is in music she comes closest to finding a sense of belonging – especially when seated at her piano bench.
This project benefits from the generous support of Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.
