O’s Notes: Vocalist, songwriter Wiesnerova is an originally from Slovakia with degrees in music from Berklee and New England Conservatory. Ester is an international force soaring with a wide range and penetrating, powerful tone. Her accompaniment is equally impressive including British saxophonist Sam Knight, American harpist Charles Overton, Japanese percussionist Kan Yanabe, and fellow countrymen Michal Selep (b). The original program spans genres appealing to a wide audience. Highlights are “Burrito”, “Nightingales and Maple Trees”, and “I’m Not Spinning If It Rains”. The package is remarkable, a 64-page Blue Journal that has extensive liner notes, photos, and even bank pages for you to inscribe your own reflections!
