Lyn Gala Texas Charm

Texas State Clarinet Fiesta is a weekend long international clarinet event that creates unique opportunities for clarinet players from all ages and levels to learn from some of the leading clarinetists from around the World. The present album features the Texas State Clarinet Studio Gala Recital Live performance in collaboration with Mitchell Estrin, Philippe Cuper, Vanguel Tangarov, Andre Moisan and David Gould. The recording world premieres two new arrangements by Matt Johnson for four clarinets and a clarinet choir composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Robert Schumann. The performance took place at Texas State University Performing Arts Center on February 11 during the 2018 edition of the Clarinet Fiesta.

Lyn Stanley, the Sultry Jazz singer of the decade, offers this collection of love songs where she'll spins tales of love's make ups and break ups. "The Moonlight Sessions" is the title of the newest chapter in Ms. Stanley's remarkable singing career. With this project, Lyn creatively offers a number of jazz standards with classical twists together with refreshingly new takes on iconic pop songs. The project was developed with the intention of creating a new take and approach to arrangements and was dedicated to the famous arranger, Sammy Nestico, best known for his swinging Count Basie arrangements but also worked for many other music greats. He was involved in the development of this project from its inception.
