Acclaimed performers of contemporary music, mezzo-soprano Patricia Green and pianist John Hess, have released a selection of powerful, evocative songs by composers R. Murray Schafer, Jonathan Harvey, Lori Laitman, Willhelm Killmayer, Roberto Sierra, and Andre Hajdu.

Says Patricia Green, « These songs offer great lyricism and immense expressivity. It was a thrill to curate and record this distinctive collection. » Hess adds, « We’ve represented a diverse group of international composers, united by their stellar reputations in the contemporary music world. »

« This is how one properly introduces new musical works to the world: with exquisite performances and careful attention to detail. »
