New Release: Breathe Blue

Breathe Blue “a very fine album from two gifted players. Grasso and Hendey clearly play on the same wavelength – their work together is refined and meticulous. There is superb chemistry in their shared vision. There’s considerable invention, especially in the accompaniment, and some beautiful little touches in how the melody is expressed that demonstrate the care with which these musicians approached the music for this album.” - The Irish Echo (Daniel Neely, reviewer)

Available for streaming on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, and more.

Cascade Mountain Aire is “Impressive, infectious music from three masters of the tradition. Their blazing music will warm the heart of any trad gathering.” - Irish Music Magazine (Seán Laffey, reviewer)

New Release: Spiegel im Spiegel

Spiegel im Spiegel by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is a beautiful, reflective work for violin (played by Brandon Vance) and piano (played by Eliot Grasso).

Artist Statement: “We have always loved Pärt’s sublime duet Spiegel Im Spiegel (Mirror in Mirrors) for its clarity, its peaceful pacing, and for the humane musical dialogue that transpires between violin and piano. The piano’s reassuring arpeggios ground the violin’s melodic questions and answers. And, the violin’s earnest questions and answers sit easily within the transparent fabric of the piano’s earthy low range and celestial high range. The resulting musical conversation creates a sonic space that lifts the burdens of this world far above us and gives us a glimpse of an existence without suffering, an existence that the gospel promises to the people of God. Our hope is that this music will communicate to you the deep peace and consolation that it brings to both of us.”
