Sounds of the ’Roads 2017

The music on this recording has been performed by ensembles from the Crossroads Upper School Music Department: the 21st Street Singers, Soul Roads, the Jazz Ensembles “A,” “B” and “C,” plus special guests from the Crossroads Elizabeth Mandell Music Institute (EMMI). We create recordings every two years to give our student musicians important studio experience, and just as importantly, to document their wonderful talents. For this year’s project, we were very fortunate to have the opportunity to record at Apogee’s beautiful studio, located just around the corner in Santa Monica. A lot of hard work went into the recording, along with a good deal of joy and laughter too; we hope that you will share in that spirit as you listen to “Sounds of the ’Roads 2017.”
