On October 1, Belgian pianist Jean-François Maljean unveiled his latest album, CHOR, a heartfelt tribute to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This collection is dedicated to fostering a sense of unity and resilience, embodying the theme of a community with a shared future for mankind.
CHOR features a mix of songs that resonated during the epidemic, including \"The Bells of Dawn,\" \"Sakura Luo,\" and \"De Wuhan à Paris.\" These tracks not only reflect the global impact of the pandemic but also highlight the shared emotional experiences across different cultures and regions.
The album introduces six original piano compositions by Jean-François, designed to help listeners soothe their emotions and restore their spirits in the aftermath of the pandemic. These pieces serve as a musical balm, offering comfort and hope during challenging times.
The standout track, \"Living Together,\" marks Jean-François Maljean's first venture into singing in Chinese. By blending elements of Hubei chime with his signature piano performance, the song beautifully conveys a message of solidarity and collective perseverance.
Through CHOR, Jean-François Maljean invites listeners to join in a global chorus of empathy and support, reinforcing the idea that we are all in this together.
