Turning away from the relentless control of daylight, poets have sought spiritual and poetic inspiration in the sublime darkness of mystery-inducing night. Klara Min’s album presents us with piano pieces intimating this ‘dark but dazzling’ night. Its title, “Evocation,” suggests night’s musical power to awaken and stir subliminal feelings hidden at the depth of our souls. World-renowned concert pianist Klara Min is a Steinway Artist who makes her home in Berlin and New York. Respected also as a thought-leader in music industry, Ms. Min is the founder and artistic director of New York Concert Artists and Associates (NYCA). NYCA serves as a networking organization for musicians to collaborate and create dynamic partnerships with managers, presenters, and other artists.

Klara Min’s first album Ripples on Water features modern Korean piano music; it was released on Naxos and complimented for “mak(ing) every note count” (Allmusic). Her second release of a selection of Chopin’s Mazurkas was released on Delos. The American Record Guide selected the album as one of six critics’ choices in 2013 raving that “her dynamic control is out of this world”. Both albums are frequently broadcast on WQXR/WNYC radio stations.
