Dear Supporters and Friends!
I am very excited to announce that we will record a new album of music! – Panacea – Three String Quartets.
You supported my fundraising campaign, and we reached our goal. This album is going to be made, and you made it possible.
THANK YOU!
Recording begins at the end of June and will take place over one month.
This album is a long time coming. Two quartets on the album were composed and premiered in Paris in 2016. The third quartet on the album, Panacea, was composed and premiered in 2006.
We are gearing up to bring you a gorgeous new album. Again, this is happening because of you, and I cannot wait to share the results of this big collaboration with you.
Yours Truly,
Peter
