NEW ALBUMMODERN REFLECTIONSModern Reflections is a collection that celebrates the timeless influence of music across cultures and eras, reimagined through the expressive voice of the clarinet quartet. Each piece in this album draws on a unique inspiration, from the lonesome beauty of American folk tunes to the passionate rhythms of Spanish dance and the evocative art of Francisco Goya.
Through these arrangements, we invite listeners to explore a tapestry of themes—renewal, resilience, nostalgia, and joy—revealed in a new light for the modern audience. |
