Eleonor said: “Lunar Landscapes has given me the exciting opportunity to collaborate with fellow composers. It’s fun to get inside their creative minds as composers and share their voice with new and unknown audiences. As we work together, I learn from them and stretch myself in new ways as a musician. It’s an honor to also share my own work and that of my longtime friend and colleague Philip Glass — whose music I’ve configured in world premiere arrangements several times throughout the series.

“By making new use of existing technologies, (whatever we happen to have around the house) and making small improvements along the way, we continue to create these virtual concert events as the pandemic rages on. It is important now, more than ever, to support each other, to lift each other up and share in the sounds we create together. Curating and preparing these concerts gives me focus and creative purpose at a time when that is lacking in almost every aspect of my life at the moment.”
