"Pianist Iwaasa quite simply pulls no punches,
attacking each composer's work with passion,
intensity and the nuanced playing she's acclaimed for. . .
she manages to instill a sense of dynamic tension
and pull to every note."

A fascinating adventure about unimaginable largeness and gravity,
unknowable states, an invitation to wonder."
- Lloyd Dykk, Vancouver Sun

"Iwaasa was born to play this music"
- Marcus Goddard, composer

her emotional intensity flooding through the audience. The feeling with which she played
took this piece from notes on a page to a stunning work of art"
