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.”
