Opening with emotive energy and performed with conviction, we are obsessed with the latest composition from pianist Bonnie Milne.
New Beginnings features majestic piano from the Canadian composer, fused with wind instrument textures that bring the piece to life, literally feeling like a new beginning.
Fitting cohesively with new age, classical and easy listening fans, we are charmed and moved by the enigmatic composition from Bonnie Milne.
The rising composer was born and raised in a small central northern town in Ontario, studied classical piano from a young age. Around age 11, Bonnie realized that she could create music and played her compositions for family and friends. She continued on with studying Music in University and completed her Teaching Degree adding vocal music as a focus.
Bonnie taught both piano and vocal lessons to numerous students over the years. In addition to managing her own business, she began teaching music in elementary schools.
New Beginnings takes on a an empowered yet playful frequency, all whilst taking us on a journey of emotions and intensity. Bonnie enjoys performing in the outdoors, surrounded by natural beauty and all we can do is visualise exactly this for New Beginnings and it takes our breath away!
Bonnie was inspired by the greats of classical music such as Beethoven, Mozart and Chopin, but also drawn to more contemporary instrumental musicians such as Ludovico Einaudi, David Tolk, Piano Guys, and the popular sounds of Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette and Taylor Swift, to name a few.
On a conscious level, Bonnie believes that music is a tool for well-being. She sees how her own sons as well as students and adults are affected by the calming sounds of her compositions. “In a world where anxiety is on the rise, music should be a go to for support”, says Bonnie.
We have been immersing ourselves in Bonnie’s discography which includes her album, Anticipation, and her single Uncertain. New Beginnings has also been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist!
