Celebrated by The Whole Note as possessing “a tremendous amount of energy, humour and astonishing talent,” Canadian pianist Andree-Ann Deschenes brings a fresh perspective to piano music. Encouraging listeners to sit back and settle into the music, she pairs her classically-trained sensibilities with elements borrowed from jazz and other inspiring art forms to communicate “just the right amount of drama, power and/or grace” (Mainly Piano) each piece demands.
Her new album, Wanderings, is a mosaic of newly commissioned compositions, underscoring Deschenes' commitment to new piano works influenced by jazz, Brazilian, and classical aesthetics. Recorded at The Loft Studio in Sault Ste. Marie, the collaborative album features new works by seven esteemed composers, highlighting exploration of the spirit and the spaces it occupies. Wanderings was selected as the Record of the Week on CBC Music’s In Concert in 2024 by award-winning host Paolo Pietropaolo, as well as featured on CBC Music’s Saturday Night Jazz and Classical WSMR’s Modern Notebook, and received rave reviews in The Whole Note and Brazil’s Revista Concerto, amongst other media outlets.
