✍️Thank you Andrew Plant for this wonderful review of my John Ireland Resonus Classics album in the British Music Society’s Journal.
“[Omordia’s] presentations of Ireland reveal fresh beauties in this remarkable music … A highly recommended issue, and an excellent introduction to Ireland’s oeuvre”.

Discover African Pianism album series, a rich and diverse genre that has been historically underappreciated. The series showcases a wide variety of African art music, the intersection of Western classical music and traditional African music, demonstrating how the piano can express African idioms.
