United Sound & Chattanooga Symphony Recording Project π΅
Music is the past, the present, and the future. We learn from the past and take action in the present to affect future generations of musicians. The non-profit organization United Sound did just that: observe a lack of diversity among the composers whose music is played by school ensembles and invest in a recording project for rising composers of minoritized groups, βto amplify the voices of emerging BIPOC and female composers within the classical music education sphere.β
I recently had the joy of flying out to Chattanooga, TN (May 11-12) for United Soundβs first ever recording project. I got to spend an hour working with the members of the Chattanooga Symphony to record a string orchestra piece I wrote in 2018 called Midnight Visitor (grade 2-2.5 level: second-third year student players). With this professional recording, United Sound has provided a great resource for me to share my music. Thank you, United Sound!!
