Maria Schneider to Release First New Album in Five Years


Winter Morning Walks’ features orchestras, vocalist Dawn Upshaw

Composer and bandleader Maria Schneider will release Winter Morning Walks, her first album in five years, on March 5. Recorded with soprano Dawn Upshaw, the album features two commissioned works composed by Schneider and featuring the Saint Paul and Australian Chamber Orchestras. Schneider conducted both orchestras and, according to a release from her publicist, “became the first artist to use fan-funding methods to record major orchestras for this project.”
