“Pertz’s piano playing is magnificent, with endless subtlety”
Terra— piano meets the earth
On May 1st, 2026, Elenora released her debut solo album. TERRA is a meditation on the piano and the earth element. Inspired by a retreat on Mount Etna in Sicily, Elenora wanted to explore how the Earth would sound through pieces of the classical piano repertoire: music that is grounding, nurturing, and cyclical. The visuals for the album were taken in Ghost Ranch, New Mexico— an oasis for many female artists and creatives, most notably the American painter Georgia O’Keefe. The album features works by 12 composers ranging from Fazil Say, Stravinsky, Mary Howe and Beethoven. Recordings of Mount Etna’s boati or eruption serve as earthy interludes.
