“Remotely recording for this spring season with our artists spread from coast to coast had its novel moments, but with artists of this caliber, we could have recorded upside down,” said Founder and Artistic Director Catania. “This is a strong and varied spring season—I'm eager to share it with listeners everywhere!”
