Kathleen Ryan

New Mexican Kathleen Ryan has sought ways to "sing the piano"--that is to transform the piano into a medium as intimately expressive as the human voice.

"When I am composing," she says, "I don't necessarily hear music inside.  Instead, I experience a subtle dissatisfaction until the sounds my hands create match the deeper emotion I feel within."

These deeper emotions Kathleen strives to express in her music can be anything from rollicking to serene.  Strong musical structure combines with beautiful melody and powerful rhythm, resulting in piano music that is direct, appealing, and unusual.

Kathleen has published three CDs of her piano compositions.  "A Handful Of Quietness" was featured in the Emmy winning Iowa Public Television special "The Four Seasons."  "The Rebirth Of Light" (2007) has garnered glowing reviews for Kathleen's deep probing of traditional Christmas Ccarols.  Her newest CD, "Under The Greenwood Tree," was released in August 2009.  All three recordings are featured on Whisperings.
