We are pleased to announce the release of the album Stonehenge by pianist and neoclassical composer, Luciana Hamond, professor in the undergraduate and graduate Music programs at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The album was made available on major digital platforms (Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, among others) on September 19, 2025.
Stonehenge brings together nine original solo piano compositions, conceived from improvisations created during Luciana's doctoral studies at University College London (UCL) – Institute of Education. These pieces emerged in moments of creative block, anxiety, and introspection, later transcribed and transformed into fully developed works. The result is an intimate and poetic record that inhabits the universe of neoclassical music, blending minimalism with the expressive depth of the piano tradition.
The tracks – Anguish and Peace, Blessed Day, Compassion, Sunflower, Echoes, I Am, Stonehenge, Procrastination, and Indecision – portray an aesthetic and existential journey where music becomes a space for healing, empowerment, and connection.
With this release, Luciana Hamond reaffirms her artistic trajectory marked by the integration of piano performance, academic research, and pedagogical innovation, consolidating her presence in both the national and international musical scenes.
