Pianist Tiffany Poon follows her debut Diaries with Nature, an album celebrating French music’s power to evoke the natural world. Recorded at Miraval Studios in Provence with producer Damien Quintard, the album features works by Ravel, Debussy, Rameau, and Daquin. Guided by intuition and inspired by Rameau’s idea that music stems from nature, Poon explores themes of water, forests, and animals through fluid, impressionistic soundscapes. Moving beyond Germanic structure, Nature offers a deeply personal reflection on the connection between music and the environment, inviting listeners to experience its beauty with spontaneity and emotional openness.

Hong Kong-born pianist Tiffany Poon began her studies at Juilliard’s pre-college program at age eight, training with Emanuel Ax and Joseph Kalichstein. Now an internationally acclaimed performer, she has appeared across North America, Europe, and Australia. Beyond the concert stage, she connects with over 329,000 YouTube subscribers and 50 million views, aiming to make classical music more accessible. As founder of the charity Together with Classical, she supports education and community engagement in music. In 2025/26, Tiffany tours Europe and North America with her Nature program, performing at major venues including the Concertgebouw, Salle Gaveau, and Vancouver Recital Society.
