Nominated for a 2025 Grammy Award, this album celebrates Julia Perry’s centenary with the world premiere recording of her Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, featuring violinist Curtis Stewart. Conductor James Blachly said the concerto is "perhaps Perry’s ultimate compositional masterpiece. It is outrageous writing for violin - virtuosic and difficult and rewarding."
