Electronic music is music that employs electronic instruments and technology in its production. An electronic musician is one who composes and/or performs such music.

Cabaret is a form of entertainment featuring music, song, dance, recitation or drama. It is mainly distinguished by the performance venue, such as in a restaurant, pub or nightclub with a stage for performances. The audience, often dining or drinking, does not typically dance but usually sits at tables - William Bolcom, Joan Morris, Marc-Andre Hamelin, Sasha Cooke.
Rebeca Omordia is ‘a pianist willing to take risks’, performing extensively as a soloist and with orchestras across various prestigious venues for various causes in Europe and the United States.
Today, she graces Classical Journey as we speak to her about her music and pursuits.
