Éros
Joseph Rebman
Release Date: May 31, 2024
Joseph Rebman’s debut album, Éros, is an exploration of emotion and memory by eight living composers through the lens of solo harp: Carly Sage, Nailah Nombeko, Kyle Wernke, Joseph Rebman, Daniel Perttu, Mackenzie Jacob LaMont, Seolhee (Snow) Kim, and Catherine Neville. Love and romance are common threads throughout the album led by the titular track which is one of the many Greek words for love. These eight works explore the sonic landscape and intrinsic character of the classical harp.
