NEW ALBUM!
Roots to blossom
Our debut album traces a musical journey from the Renaissance to contemporary pop, revealing the enduring presence of flowers as symbols across centuries of musical expression. Each piece is paired with a different flower, inviting listeners to discover how composers from diverse periods and styles have used floral imagery to evoke love, longing, remembrance, hope, transformation, and the passage of time. Rather than following a chronological path, the program weaves together unexpected connections between eras, showing how these symbols continue to resonate across changing musical languages. To further enrich this experience, we collaborated with illustrator Lucía Rojas, who created a unique artwork for each piece, offering a visual interpretation that blossoms alongside the music. The album, released this month, is an invitation to listen, look, and rediscover the timeless dialogue between music, nature, and symbolism.
