Year Old Pianist Debut |
http://cdbaby.com/cd/jarrar/from/antimusic
reports: Felix and Petra Jarrar, brother and sister piano players, have
released their new CD "Felix and Petra Jarrar's Piano Pieces". The album
contains 15 tracks of emotional new age mood music straight from the heart.
Proceeds from the album sales go to Katrina victims. "Felix used his talent
to record a compact disc, including four classical pieces and 11 of his
original compositions. Track 3 is 'Ocean's Wave', which he wrote before
the tsunami struck. His sister, Petra, also performs on two of the tracks."
the Connecticut Post writes.
10 year old Felix and his sister Petra
Jarrar are an amazing team that has partnered for a great cause. Their
album of piano pieces begins with Petra's elegant musical treatment of
Lichner's 'A Short Story'. Both Petra and Felix have an elegant and clean
piano technique. Petra shines in both of her selections, showing a beautiful
sense of control and musical understanding in 'Minuet', from the A.M. Bach
Notebook.[see full story for more] - Click
