FINALLY!  The long awaited CD of my music Purple Night is being released on November 30, 2014!  Lots of obstacles got in the way, but it’s now finished.  I am excited to tell everyone about this recording, especially the long list of people that made a financial contribution directly or through my Kickstarter campaign.  In addition, all of the great musicians that appear on this recording are just stellar!  So pumped for you all to hear it!  Check out the streaming audio in the “SHOP!” section of my website www.sanaekanda.com

My piece “Morgendämmerung” for euphonium and piano has been such a huge hit that I have adapted it first for tuba and piano at the request of tubist Matthew K. Brown; and for trombone and piano at the request of trombonist Brian Diehl.  Both versions have been premiered by the requesters and will be published in the near future.  Thank you!  I’m so glad you like it!

After having produced the two tracks recorded by the Cosmopolitan Tuba Quartet for my CD project - I was asked to produce the CTQ’s first full length CD!  The Cosmopolitan Tuba Quartet (Roland Fröscher / Adam Frey, euphoniums and Matthew K. Brown / Michael S. Milnarik, tubas) recorded their new album in Reading, Pennsylvania.  The recording is made up of rock transcriptions for tuba quartet!  I am very fortunate that the group recorded, on this album, two new pieces that I wrote for them - “…don’t know” and “Endearment II.”  The new recording is slated to be released in 2015 and my two pieces should be published by then, as well.
