One of the top 10 most performed living classical composers in the United States, Adam Schoenberg was commissioned by the Kansas City Symphony to write the American Symphony and Picture Studies featured here, a collaboration with conductor Michael Stern that Schoenberg calls “extraordinary.” The performances were brilliantly captured by the Grammy-winning team of engineer Keith O. Johnson and producer David Frost.

“I have dreamt of having an orchestral disc of my music since first becoming a composer. This is an extraordinary gift and I am thrilled to be sharing my music with all of you. The three pieces that you will soon experience embody my growth from student to professional composer. They each explore different styles, but my artistic voice remains consistent throughout.”
– Adam Schoenberg
