NEW RELEASES

Research scientist/composer/pianis releases her first music recording

WINNIPEG - She is usually seen being interviewed in her laboratory, or in the field in her hipwaders, whenever water quality, toxicology and public health are in the news. Dr. Eva Pip, a research scientist and professor of biology at the University of Winnipeg, is dedicated to environmental causes, and has received numerous environmental and community service awards.

In her other life, in a true blend of science and art, she is a composer, pianist and author of a book on Ukrainian ritual music.

Last year, Dr. Pip released her first CD, "Pictures From Another Place," five piano suites she composed and performs. The collection of gentle classical music is lush with hints of rich Ukrainian melodies and harmonies.

As noted in the notes, the piano works "beckon with evocative pictures 'from another place,' providing a unique and deeply personal escape. The music incorporates contemporary therapeutic techniques that promote relaxation, spiritual centering, and stress relief."

The CD is available at HMV Portage Place and McNally-Robinson Booksellers.
