A GRAND MEMOIR BY DARLENE KOLDENHOVEN
READ OUR REVIEW OF “A GRAND MEMOIR HERE” HERE
Darlene Koldenhoven is a Grammy®-winning, Billboard charting, vocalist, pianist, composer, songwriter, arranger, credentialed voice teacher, certified sonic therapist and author who has had quite an accomplished, interesting, and exciting life. Her new 10-track solo piano album to be released August 7, 2026, “A Grand Memoir” (TimeArt®), is the companion to her memoir book “Put Your Dress Down and Sing” (Sibylline Press), released on August 7, 2026.
The music on “A Grand Memoir” is calming, relaxing, elegant, and sophisticated, with a kind of neo-classical/classical crossover New Age style. What I like best about the whole album is that it’s emotionally evocative, sensitively and masterfully played, and completely relatable. The music was “channeled” to Darlene during that just awakening stage between dreaming and consciousness when she was writing her memoir. She recorded the music live in her living room on a century-old Golden Era Steinway Grand Piano model L that was left in her care by some friends whose mother was the original owner and a national concert pianist.
