He used it to record superstar baritone Thomas Hampson at the Merit School of Music’s Gottlieb Hall for his upcoming album Songs from Chicago (available August 2018).

Songs in Flight features world premiere recordings of Shawn E. Okpebholo’s complete song cycle for which the album is named, along with four additional art songs — one from each of his other song cycles — building upon the themes and messages of his work, performed by Grammy winning and-nominated artists known for their dedication to cultural and historical music projects.
Children’s Stories features world premieres of works based on beloved children’s literature by superstar classical composers Michael Abels (Frederick’s Fables for narrator and orchestra) and Augusta Read Thomas (Gwendolyn Brooks Settings for children’s choir and orchestra). Both pieces bring children’s literary narratives stunningly to life through music.
To ring in the new year, a playlist of first Cedille-album-featured appearances by Chicago solo performers and ensembles who are showcased on multiple Cedille discs, presented in order of release (please note: due to the wide range of albums, dynamics may vary considerably from track to track).
