New music on Chavah for your edification and enjoyment:
Zachary Bruno – Komorebi
Zach is a remarkably talented young pianist and friend of the station. I met him years ago at Proclaim Music Festival and have loved his stirring, heartfelt piano instrumentals since. If a piano could ever speak and show emotion, it is in Zach’s beautiful original works for the King.
Zach sent us this new album, along with two others that we’ll be adding to the station soon. Give it a listen! These original songs will stir your heart.
A great big thanks to Zach for sending us his music for play on the station.
Dear listeners, please support him by purchasing his music over at ZacharyBruno.com . You can also donate to all artists on the station, including Zach, through Messiah’s Music Fund . Thanks for supporting Messiah’s musicians!
