Summer 2016 Updates

by | Jul 16, 2016 | News

2016 has been a busy year for Hummingbird Press so far!

Over the past several months, Edie has been busy preparing for her recording project. This past week, Edie traveled to Philadelphia, PA to record her CD, “Clay Jug”, with The Crossing and PARMA Recordings. She had an excellent time working with the choir and instrumentalists, and recorded in the church pictured on this post. The CD is set for release in 2017. For more information about this project, visit the “Clay Jug” Fractured Atlas page.

Edie’s music was performed all around the U.S., and even in France and the Netherlands.

Check out Edie’s new Youtube page! Edie’s art songs were recently featured at the NATS Convention in Chicago, and we invite you to watch the most recent additions to her Youtube page : Between the Limbs, Music and The Giver of Stars: Six Poems of Amy Lowell.

Upcoming events:

In August, Edie will be participating again in the Source Song Festival. Additionally, her song cycle Between the Limbs, Music will be performed by Source Song Festival Duo Alumni, Anne Agresta Dugan and John Gilmour, in their recital in Newark, DE.

The Valborg Ensemble will perform “The Bells” and “An Illuminated Transience” on their tour throughout the Netherlands in September and October.

Keep coming back for more updates!
