Fans of Ann Sweeten's music will delight in her newest offering, Change Is in the Wind!
Steinway Artist, Ann Sweeten's latest offering is a breathtaking and breath-catching collection of passionate instrumentals rendered with prodigious technique and mesmerizing melodic sensibility. Standout guest musicians include: Nancy Rumbel (English Horn), Eugene Friesen (Cello), and Charlie Bisharat (Violin).
Though born out of the Pandemic, Change Is in the Wind bursts forth from the composer's soul and blooms lushly on the ears and in the mind of the listener. Once again, Sweeten finds the path to light amidst the darkness and has said in her own words: ''This time, and not for a long time, my music is coming from a place of Peace. It's been kind of surreal actually, as if the heartaches of the past have been freed and I am floating in an aura of completeness, of understanding and release, Turning the Page, as it were... Change Is in the Wind, represents a glance in the rear view mirror of my life, but, with an Emergence into the light and peace of the Present.''
''I've had the pleasure of working with Ann Sweeten for 15 years. In that entire time I've never known her to settle for anything less than brilliance in her composition and performance. Her latest album, Change Is in the Wind, furthers her legacy as one of the most talented pianists and composers on the scene today.''
