This is a recording project sponsored by PARMA Recordings to record, produce, and release my orchestral work "Song of Eternity."

PARMA Recordings has formally invited me to collaborate on the recording and release of my orchestral work "Song of Eternity". Parma has pledged support for this project to record, design, manufacture, distribute, and promote this release. It is to be recorded in one 2-hour session with the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra of Olomouc, Czech Republic during the month of June 2012 at a cost of $11,200. This CD, titled "Modern Orchestral Works", is scheduled for release in 2013. It will include international physical and digital distribution through Naxos Music Library.

PARMA Recordings is the parent organization of the Navona, Big Round, Ravello, and Capstone label imprints, and their releases feature work by artists such as Grammy-winner Richard Stoltzman, Pulitzer Prize-winner Lewis Spratlan, renowned session and live drummer Steve Gadd, Pixar/Randy Newman orchestrator Jonathan Sacks, NY Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow, and Grammy and Emmy-winner Pete Townshend, as well as many others.
