Joan Tower is one of the most lauded composers of our time. Born in New Rochelle, NY in 1938, Tower’s accolades include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Grammy, Naumburg and Grawemeyer awards. Though Tower is perhaps best known for her orchestral works, Kara Huber’s recording of Joan Tower’s solo piano music presents an iconic American composer in a uniquely intimate setting: five pieces spanning 30 years, ranging from major multi movement works (No Longer Very Clear) to deeply personal miniatures (Love Letter). The piano was Tower’s first instrument, and these works not only represent Tower’s adroit approach to the piano’s expressive capacity, but also underscore Tower’s rare and unmistakable compositional mastery. A longtime champion of Tower’s work, Kara Huber’s performance marks a definitive and deeply compelling interpretation of Tower’s compositional voice.
