Behold award-winning San Francisco-based classical musician Kimberly Hou and her debut instrumental piano EP Opus One. “Opus One” finds Kimberly reflecting on the past while moving peacefully, hopefully into the unknown. This is a perfect EP for those who find themselves anxious and in need of calm during these times of self-isolation.
“I wrote my first EP, Opus One,” Kimberly says, “to offer different perspectives of experiencing various chapters of life. Reminiscing about moments of beauty, wonder, and loss – yet emerging ever stronger, cherishing life and loved ones even more from the present moment onwards.”
