The composer, Thomas Enhco, uses music to define feelings he cannot put into words, creating 'time capsules' of emotions and sensations.
Album & Artwork
This album is structured like a two-part concert with an interval, featuring five solo jazz-leaning pieces, a classical piano and orchestra concerto, and two solo encores.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Thomas Enhco finds it difficult to title his pieces because they express a multitude of feelings rather than one specific thing, often finding a subject after composing the music.
Composer Biography
Thomas Enhco was mentored in jazz for over twenty years by Didier Lockwood, a jazz musician, who often advised him to "Play for the angels."
Compositional Technique
The concerto blends classical instrumentation with jazz rhythmic elements and extensive piano improvisation, reflecting both classical and jazz influences.
Composition History
The Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was Thomas Enhco's first symphonic composition, commissioned by the Orchestre de Pau Pays de Béarn and premiered in February 2017.
