Cambria Music
We are very excited to announce the July 6 release of our second CD on Cambria Music, available now on Amazon.
Where Freedom Rings
Where Freedom Rings is the title of AACI’s new CD
presenting compositions by four outstanding contemporary composers
well-known to our concert audiences: Regina Baiocchi, Valerie Capers,
Joshua McGhee, and John Robinson.
Included are new works by Valerie Capers: Ruby, a “docu-cycle”
and two songs to texts of Abbey Lincoln; three recent chamber works by
Joshua McGhee; a new piano trio and newly arranged piano duets by John
Robinson; and solo piano and vocal/chamber music by Regina Baiocchi. The
works by Capers, McGhee, and Robinson are AACI commissions, new
additions to the chamber music repertoire.
Performers
on the album are soprano Yolanda Rhodes, pianists Josephine Gandolfi,
LaDoris Cordell, and Deanne Tucker, violinist Susan C. Brown, cellist
Victoria Ehrlich, flutist Stephanie McNab, bassoonist Douglas Brown,
clarinetist Carol Somersille, trumpeter John Worley, trombonist John
Monroe, bassist John Robinson, percussionist Jim Kassis, and vocalist

Dalrymple.
Our first CD, Piano Works by Zenobia Powell Perry, is also available on amazon here, and we will be announcing another CD soon!
