Edward Enman shares classical music in innovative ways, creating new music for eager listeners and educating young-at-heart musicians everywhere.

What a week. Last week I was able to be at the piano with just the loveliest group of musicians.

I feel so grateful to have been a part of this recording and I feel recharged (even with a newborn at home!) from being a part of this.

Thank you to each of you for making this so special. Really looking forward to hearing this one. ❤️

Meet Hugo!

After a difficult few months of complicated loss, and a 5-week stay in the NICU, little Hugo is finally home and we're grateful to have the summer at home as a family.

He's doing really well, doing regular baby things, and Mama is doing really well too. She's a superhero. ❤️

Also, the nurses and doctors who have taken care of us all along the way at the IWK @iwkfoundation are some of the kindest, most generous people I have ever met.

Now for sleepless nights, chaos in the house, and love all around.

It's been a WILD few weeks (more on that later), and I want to share a moment of rehearsal/workshop with these incredible musicians as we worked through my piece PLACE for piano trio a few weeks ago.

These wonderful humans made musical magic all weekend long: @ginaburgess.violin, @annejanellecello, @hrpsauce

I'm in the finishing stages of this piece and we're looking forward to premiere/recording plans in the works.

Big shout-out to @artsnovascotia for funding this project.

More to come!

A soundcheck moment from my @ecmaofficial show last week in Sydney, CB.

I've been incorporating more and more improvisation into my live shows, and for me it's the best way to explore a place sonically. It's fun to play around and see what the piano/space has to offer.

There's some fun audio wackiness in this recording too with my phone resting on the piano here 😆🎶

Race weekend was a total blast. Timely weather, challenging running, and the heart-filling experience of having total strangers cheer for you. The @bnmarathon strutted its stuff yet again!

I ran a PB in the 5k Saturday and then ran the exact race I wanted to in the half marathon on Sunday. I was proud of my body and what it can do.

Most importantly, we raised thousands(!) of dollars for the @nstalenttrust to provide supportive and artist-affirming scholarships to emerging artists in Nova Scotia.

I'm so proud to be Nova Scotian, a place full of kind, generous, creative, hard-working, and delightful people. ⛵ 🎵 🌊

A tremendous thank you to each of you who donated! You will see the results of your donations in the years of artists, musicians, painters, dancers, actors, filmmakers, poets, writers, and more to come in Nova Scotia.

Thank you, thank you. 💙

Writing a dream project right now on these spring days for an @artsnovascotia funded piece for piano trio.

What a treat it is to think of @hrpsauce, @ginaburgess.violin, and @annejanellecello playing my music.

We're all getting together in a couple of weeks to workshop it, and right now I'm pulling in ideas, travelling around the province recording, and putting it all together bit by bit.

Oh, and gardening. So much gardening 🌺 🥕

Here we go!

In just over a week I'll be playing a set at the classical showcase for @ecmaofficial 2026 in Sydney, Cape Breton.

Get ready for some new and old music by Louise Farrenc, Amy Beach, Jocelyn Morlock, with some improvised moments mixed in. 🎵

Music for days straight on the Island? Yes, please!

Just a few days until the @bnmarathon race weekend here in Halifax!

I will be running the 5k & the 21k in support of the @nstalenttrust. I'm still taking donations!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to those who have donated so far. I will have you in my mind as I'm running this weekend.

The Nova Scotia Talent Trust gives scholarships to emerging artists as they find their footing in their craft. This might be one of the most important periods for the NSTT too given how the arts have been under attack in the province.

Give if you can and cheer on this weekend for all of the runners too!

This is a couple of weeks delayed, but I had such a wonderful time adjudicating piano classes for the @novascotiakiwanismusicfestival in Halifax.

It's an amazing thing to see young souls get up on stage to show the music they've been working hard on for so long.

I met so many young musicians and heard so much great music over the 4 days.

I always try to leave the students with a positive experience of their festival time, and for them to come away from it curious and inspired.

Congrats to all of the students, and their teachers and grown-ups for putting so much energy into their music. You're making the world a better place! 🎵 🌎

It's springtime and I'm running the Bluenose Marathon @bnmarathon in support of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust! @nstalenttrust

This organization gives scholarships and grants to emerging artists in Nova Scotia and I've seen firsthand how huge an impact it makes on so many creative lives.

Now more than ever in Nova Scotia we need our arts community supported and enriched.

The NSTT is an organization about which I feel very passionate, so I'll be running hard come race weekend!

Every dollar helps, so if you're able to give, thank you for every little bit.

I have a link in my bio if you're interested. ❤️🎵

I'm delighted to have received a creation grant from @artsnovascotia to create a piece for piano trio with/for the incredible @ginaburgess.violin, @annejanellecello, and @hrpsauce.

In light of the recent gutting of many provincial arts organizations by the provincial government, this project at this time with support from this organization carries more weight.

I would always have done my darndest to create a piece to my fullest capabilities, but now I want this piece to show and to prove how important funding like this is for our lives.

To show the value of this arts support, how many people's lives it can affect, and how important it is to support these vital funds, projects, and programs.

If you're in Nova Scotia, I encourage you to write to your MLA to voice how you feel about whichever arts organization you feel most strongly for.

The arts are what it's all about. We need them.

Resetting a bit this week as it's university winter reading break.

It's been a wild year already! I enjoy the packed schedule that the academic year brings, but it means that I put my head down and go for several months in the year.

Here are a few photos of observation from the past month and a bit as I reflect, catch up, and plan.

I've also been reading a lot about "time anxiety", so it's been nice to reflect on the feelings of time pressure and how they actually play out. Turns out I stress a lot more than necessary and it doesn't stretch the time that I have.

Enjoy your time as much as you can, even amidst the chaos.

Ann Southam is the queen.

Prepping and practicing to perform this at @acadiau and @acadiaumusic tomorrow night!

Ann Southam is one of my favourite composers of all time. I think her music is so full of life and it constantly tickles my brain.

Proud that she's Canadian and that she left us so much incredible music for the piano.

Check out @christinapetrowskaquilico's recordings of most (all?) of it!

The sign of a good semester is being so busy that I put my head down and run through the days.

That's what it's like these days, and although it can be exhausting, it's rewarding, and I feel so grateful to be performing, teaching, coaching, and learning along the way.

Looking forward to the next few weeks as the current term wraps up and I shift my energies to some different projects.

Have a lovely day full of music and love! 🎵❤️

What a time! Nova Scotia Music Week was a blast.

Playing music, listening to music, talking about music, exploring new music, eating and drinking and hanging out!

@musicnovascotia really does it right. The staff and volunteers who put on this conference/festival are amazing.

Huge congrats to all of the performing artists and award winners too!

There's so much incredible music in Nova Scotia. Can't wait to do it all again.

In just over a week I'll be heading to Yarmouth for @musicnovascotia's Nova Scotia Music Week!

This is one of my favourite events of the year, and is one which always fills up my inspiration and artistic drive.

In addition to being nominated for Classical Album of the Year, alongside the incredible @india.yeshe, @catherine_little_music, @gregmyra_pianist, @amybguitar & Collaterol, I will be showcasing a whole new set at the classical showcase which I'm just itching to perform.

Also in the showcase will be dear friend @jenniferkingpiano and soon-to-be friend @adriajacksonharp!

Nova Scotia is a special place with some of the best musicians in the world.

Fellow musicians, let's meet up in Yarmouth! Let me know if you'll be there!

Shoutout to @maddy.scovil for her brilliant performances on this album, @kaspymastering for all things sound, and @jessicahiemstradesigns, @jessicajoyhiemstra for the darling fox on the album art. You're all stellar humans.

As we are in the beginning stages of this academic year, I am reflecting on the last one.

Among my goals last year amidst the big family move, relocation, and professional switch-up? I wanted to play piano more.

And boy, did I ever!

This week out of curiosity, I set out to add up hours and quickly got lost adding the times for rehearsals, practicing, coaching, lessons, and performances last academic year.

So, here are some other ways of measuring those frantic 8-months of glorious, exhausting, inspiring music making and development.

These are all lower estimates, but give a sense of the organized chaos which marks my life during the school year.

And best of all? I've never felt better.

Keep finding ways to do what you love as you love to do it.

It's been two weeks since the release of "We Are Here" and I'm loving the reverberations resulting from this album.

I've had so many discussions with people about the nature of this music and the process behind it.

I used to be terrified by improvisation, but then I just got tired of worrying about it and just played.

One thing that fascinates me the most about making music up on the spot is that it's not really being made up on the spot. It's a revelation of my many years making music and of life - all of the practice, listening, choices, loves, all mixed into an emotional and mental outpouring.

I've also had discussions with people about the life of an artist. I love writing and recording and performing, but other life events took over this past year and my priorities rebalanced, at least for a time.

Having this album in my life and in the ears of others has inspired new ideas to create some new things, perhaps in the most grounded and sustainable energy of my life.

Keep listening, keep creating, keep putting yourself out there. The world needs more creation, more connection, and more art.

Having this album in my life and in the ears of others has inspired new ideas to create some new things, perhaps in the most grounded and sustainable energy of my life.

Keep listening, keep creating, keep putting yourself out there. The world needs more creation, more connection, and more art.

Still in the afterglow of my album release last week, I'm delighted to share that my last album has been nominated for a Nova Scotia Music award!

"Silver Light: Fantasies on Poems by Sara Teasdale" is up for Classical Recording of the Year!

I feel so warm at heart to be a part of this Nova Scotian music community.

If you are a Music Nova Scotia voting member, I would be thrilled to have your vote for this, and I look forward to showcasing at Nova Scotia Music Week in Yarmouth in the fall.

Check out all of the nominees and their music - this province is packed with incredible musicians!

This album features spellbinding spoken performances by @maddy.scovil and rich artwork by @jessicahiemstradesigns. The ever-wonderful @kaspymastering is on all things sound. Thank you all!

As my daughter says: "Teamwork makes the dream work".

"We Are Here" - just a few days out from this release!

Today I'm taking a look back at one of the studio sessions from this album, when we packed two pianos into the studio, so I could play some music with my longtime friend @david.a.potvin.

A couple of tracks on this album feature the both of us creating spontaneous music together in between takes from my debut album, "Breathe In, Breathe Out".

As I continue on in my creative and professional journey, one thing seems to be sticking more than others, which is a sense of community.

I want to build good relationships with the people I come into contact with, I want to make music with people I connect well with, and I want to keep nurturing friendships and collaborative relationships so that we keep making music together.

This particular session has had a lasting impact on me and my music, and it's been heartwarming to revisit it all.

"We Are Here" is coming this Friday, July 11th, 2025 (also, my birthday!) on @watchthatendsthenightrecords.

Pre-purchase and listen to the first single, "Sample 5" via the link in my bio.

It's July! And I have a new collection of music coming out on July 11th.

"We Are Here" is a collection of improvisations from studio sessions over several years. It's a very earnest, direct link to my creative process, and is one I'm pretty excited about.

I'm fascinated with capturing experiences, whether that be in recordings, photos, written thoughts, or just how we carry memories with us always.

This photo is from one of the sessions these recordings are from, and I know exactly how I was feeling at this moment.

That's what this album is - capturing moments, and sharing them.

I'm joined by the incomparable pianist @david.a.potvin on a couple of tracks too!

This is my first collaboration with @watchthatendsthenightrecords and one of many collaborations with @kaspymastering doing all things sound.

The first single "Sample 5" is out now, have a listen!

Finally a recap from Understanding Music at @acadiau (@acadiaumusic).

I so love teaching this class and connecting with students over the course of a few months.

Talking about music is one of my favourite things to do, and I always learn from the perspectives of the students in this class who love music, but are not studying music directly at university. This may be the only music course they ever take, and I love to challenge and support them in their musical journeys.

The end of the semester was a whirlwind and I'm only just getting my head back from the academic year. I've learned so much about teaching, connecting with students, and guiding curious ears.

Thank you for following along on this journey, perhaps there will be another similar one in the near future.

Until then, keep listening curiously! 🎵

This was a nifty thing to receive in the mail, thanks @thejunoawards!

I've been a judge for the JUNOS a few times now in the various classical categories and it's always such an inspiring experience.

There is so much incredible music being made by the people across this country!

One of the things I like best about this experience is getting the chance to hear all of the submissions and what a wide variety and high level of musicality there is.

Keep listening to Canadian artists and supporting their work!
