Chicago-based classical saxophonist Julian Velasco, winner of Cedille Records first Emerging Artist Competition, plays contemporary works for tenor, alto, and soprano saxophone on As We Are, his debut recording as a featured artist, set for release August 19, 2022.
This production, starring lyric soprano Nicole Cabell, will not be a modern take on an old story. The goal is to come as close as possible to the kind of experience its original audiences enjoyed.
