Available for pre-order: DANCE OF THE NIGHT SKY

Link in bio to pre-order!

"Dance of the Night Sky," @blackoakens's third album for Cedille, expands the boundaries of string trio repertoire by offering listeners a vibrant collection of contemporary works including four world-premiere recordings, all by British women composers.

Comprised of violinist Desirée Ruhstrat, violist Aurelien Fort Pederzoli,and cellist David Cunliffe, the Black Oak Ensemble has been praised for its “insightful, committed and masterful performances” (ClassicsToday) and “fierce eloquence” (London Times).

With vivid musical imagery ranging from a steam train station in Zimbabwe in Carol J. Jones’ bulawayo railway to the enigmatic poetry of Friedrich Nietzsche in Grace-Evangeline Mason’s Into The Abyss, I Throw Roses—both world premiere recordings — the album showcases a multigenerational array of commissions.

The album features works by Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Dobrinka Tabakova, Carol J. Jones, Freya Waley-Cohen, Sally Beamish, and Errollyn Wallen.
