Noam Lemish’s new album There’s beauty enough in being here offers a gently ravishing program inspired by a Fernando Pessoa poem about experiencing the numinous nature of even the most everyday occurrences. The compositions draw on a broad stylistic palette while investigating a vivid expanse of emotional terrain. Translated from Portuguese, Pessoa’s verse centers on the lines: “Let's pay attention only to where we are. There's enough beauty in being here and not somewhere else.”
