New album!! Now available on all major streaming services

This album includes premiere recordings of pieces for younger players by women composers. It is my hope that this project will encourage more students to program and perform these worthwhile works. Even in this era of expanded awareness and acceptance of artistic work by underrepresented composers, it is important to continue to be intentional in programming to ensure this repertoire remains accessible and available to horn players at any level. This collection of pieces represents some of my favorites for which there is not currently a professional recording and the scores are easily available for purchase by younger players. Includes works by Lydia Lowery Busler, Monic Cecconi-Botella, Eileen Clews, Yvonne Desportes, Elena Firsova, Adrienne Fox, Mabel Hardy, Judyth Knight, Darleen Mitchell, Betty Roe, Shanyse Strickland, Laurel Zucker.

Recorded at Western Michigan University in Dalton Center Recital Hall October 16-18, 2023
Pictured from L to R: Lin Baird, Helen Lukan, Steve Wolfinbarger (producer), Paul Schaedig (engineer)
