I’m so pleased to learn that my upcoming portrait CD with Albany Records has received funding from the Alice M. Ditson Fund at Columbia University. I expect the CD to be out later this spring and am so impressed with the level of musicianship of soprano Tony Arnold and the members of Zohn Collective. The CD will feature my large-scale Sandburg Songs, along with chamber music from the last decade. Thanks to all the staff at Albany Records for their support of my work.
