Tanya Ekanayaka launched a debut album of her own composition for solo piano, titled “Reinventions: Rhapsodies for Piano”, on March 30.
The album contains seven tracks which have all been composed and performed by Tanya herself, and was released under the most prestigious classical recording label: NAXOS (Grand Piano).
“I look back on my life and see that I have never consciously aspired to achieve anything, really,” says the pianist, composer, musicologist and linguist.
