We have done something new. Last month, we recorded our first instrumental-only session for composer Ian Rashkin, conducted by Brian Dowdy. Two chamber works: Fantasy and Sinfonietta. Love to know what you think!

It was pretty fun. I expect we may be doing more or these, to serve a greater segment of the composing world.
