In 2019, around Christmas, Ilse decided to quit her job as a Sales Manager and to focus 100% on music. As a bass player, she regularly performs with various bands, but Covid-19 suddenly paralyses the entire music world. Times are getting hard for musicians. Because Ilse is a go-getter at such a moment, she decides to make use of the free time to pick up an old passion again: composing piano music.
Composing goes so smoothly that Ilse "out of the blue" has finished eight songs. This is how the idea arose to release CD "Out of the Blue" under the stage name "Elisabeth Wolf" to distinguish from Ilse as a bass player. Ilse is short for the name Elisabeth and Wolf comes from her mother's surname De Wolf.
The CD is intended as a way point of light in dark times and to inspire everyone to realize their dreams in these challenging times. The songs create an elegant, romantic atmosphere and reflect the hope for a brighter future. It is music to dream away, read a book or enjoy a glass of wine surrounded by your loved ones.
Elisabeth Wolf is a Belgian composer, pianist. She is best known for her personal style. Her work consists mainly of piano compositions with elegant, expressive melodies. She combines unconventional harmonies and free forms, each time overflowing with a touch of romance.
Elisabeth Wolf was born on February 9th 1974. She was born in the rural village of Lubbeek. When Elisabeth started taking piano lessons at a young age, it soon became clear that her fingers were starting to live a life of their own. Instead of learning scales and sonatas, she created her own compositions over and over again. It was only after a performance at high school, where she played her first composition, that she was told she was talented. From that moment on, she was the only pupil who was given the key to one of the 'secret rooms' of the catholic sisters of the school, where a piano stood, to practice during breaks.
When Elisabeth was only fifteen, she already gave her first performance in Tel Aviv, Israel. A year later she played in Vera Cruz, Mexico. In the following years she gave several more performances at home and abroad.
Now, after a long break, she releases her first album: "Out of the blue”. The title refers to how her fingers on the piano lead a life of their own from which "out of the blue" a composition is created.
