AUGUST RELEASES OUT NOW

PREACH SISTER PREACH

Katherine Jolly

Soprano Katherine Jolly delivers a mesmerizing performance on PREACH SISTER PREACH, an assemblage of compositions which draw their inspiration from the poetry of Emily Dickinson, climate change commentaries, Lucille Ball and Tina Fey quotes, and more. Jolly’s agile voice brings a supple grace to these compositions no matter the text or instrumentation.

LACHLAN SKIPWORTH

Lachlan Skipworth

Composer, clarinetist, and shakuhachi flute student Lachlan Skipworth not only delves into complexities in tone, color, and texture in his eponymous album on Navona Records — beyond these, he considers the deeper questions of music’s spiritual purpose.

TANGOS…AND SOMETHING MORE

Alicia Terzian; Groupo Encuentros

Composer, musicologist, and conductor Alicia Terzian presents TANGOS…AND SOMETHING MORE, an album featuring a survey of tango compositions — including her own — performed by her ensemble Grupo Encuentros. The listener will enjoy the performances on this album for their cinematic nature. These compositions are programmatic; they tell a story.

PATTERNS

James William Stamm; Georges Raillard; Santiago Kodela; Daniel Adams; David Arbury; Bunny Beck; Jan Järvlepp

A broad definition of chamber music is music that can be performed by ensembles of a small enough size that they could fit into a small room, or a chamber. Navona Records’ PATTERNS, which features chamber works by seven contemporary composers, showcases the many facets of this stimulating musical style.
