Today was the last day of our orchestral sessions for Mark Abel’s Dream Gallery, a classical album project that will be released early next year. I am co-producing the project with Mark for Delos Music. I also orchestrated the music, played the piano on the album, and did the score preparation. The album is a long-form song cycle for many different singers and full orchestra. Working with Mark has been a wonderful and highly collaborative partnership.
