Album launch for Christina Petrowska-Quilico and Alice Ping-Yee Ho‘s Album, The Imagined will take place on April 21, 2026 at the Canadian Music Centre in Toronto.
The Imagined brings together four evocative solo piano works by Alice Ping Yee Ho, performed with nuance, brilliance, and emotional depth by Christina Petrowska Quilico. This recording was produced by David Jaeger.
Each piece opens a distinct imaginative world — shaped by visual art, theatre, mythology, and personal memory — yet together they form a cohesive exhibition of sound and narrative. Across these works, the piano becomes both storyteller and canvas, guiding listeners through landscapes that exist only in the mind.
In this collection, the piano is more than an instrument; it is a vehicle for storytelling, a medium of translation between the visual, the mythical, and the remembered. The Imagined celebrates the transformative power of creativity, the dialogue between East and West, and the enduring capacity of music to evoke worlds both real and imagined.
