This album features two works commissioned by Mimi Stillman's Dolce Suono Ensemble and one discovery, all receiving their first recordings here.
Yumi Kendall, the cellist, joined The Philadelphia Orchestra in 2004 as assistant principal cello after graduating from the Curtis Institute of Music.
Mimi Stillman, the flutist on this album, was the youngest wind player ever admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music at age 12.
Charles Abramovic, the pianist, made his orchestral debut at age 14 with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
The album's concept, 'Freedom,' deals with the universal human yearning to be free, as expressed by the composers and through the life stories of Weinberg and Finko.
