We announce the signing of an exclusive agreement with Armenian composer and pianist Marie Awadis. Born in Lebanon and now based in Germany, the pianist is known for her intimate, elegantly crafted music and sensitive sound. &ldquo;The Yellow Label has always symbolised the pinnacle of musical excellence for me,&rdquo; says Awadis. &ldquo;Its legendary artists inspired and shaped me. Their ability to connect with emotions fuelled my desire to become a pianist and touch people in the profound way they touched me. I&rsquo;m honoured and overjoyed to join the DG family, and eager to share my work, express my passion and explore a range of creative concepts. Signing with DG is an incredible privilege &ndash; and feels like coming home.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Additionally, Awadis releases her long-anticipated debut DG album &Eacute;tudes M&eacute;lodiques. The work combines Chopin, minimalism and Armenian flair in 12 tracks for solo piano that bridge the worlds of classical and neo-classical music. The works reveal her individual and unique voice, a product of the diverse influences that enrich her music, from deeply rooted classical traditions to the folk harmonies and melodies of Armenia: &ldquo;For me, the ideal way to compose is to combine my own intuitive approach with the rhythmic precision of American minimalism, the spirituality of European minimalism and the emotions of Armenian music,&rdquo; the pianist affirms.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Awadis further releases a performance video for the final track &Eacute;tude No. 12 &ldquo;Unveiled&rdquo; on the DG YouTube Channel. A film of Awadis performing the music from the album at Berlin&rsquo;s K&uuml;hlhaus will be unveiled on <a href="https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJCE9N">STAGE+</a> on 5 October.&nbsp;
