Hope, that elusive yet ever present thread in all of our lives... this solo piano album explores many different facets of hope.

Starting with the title track: Hope, an original neoclassical song exploring the theme and setting the stage. The songs are both original material and with an eclectic mix of old folk songs, hymns and classical themes flowing seamlessly through the music .

The lyrical piano melodies sing and explore the ever rising and falling cycle of life, joy, pain, happiness, disappointment, but ever present hope.

"I hope you find your cares gently soothed away and your troubles eased as you listen. No matter where you are or what you are going through let your soul be stirred. May it bring you hope." ~ Kendra
