Iowa State Department of Music holiday recording with Simon
Estes on sale
- Simon Estes, the F. Wendell Miller Distinguished Artist-in-Residence and internationally-acclaimed bass-baritone at Iowa State University, last year released Holiday Classics with Simon Estes.
This compact disc recording features Estes singing nine holiday selections with the ISU Wind Ensemble, and three with the Ames Piano Quartet. The Wind Ensemble and Ames Piano Quartet each recorded an additional holiday selection, which features their separate ensembles.
"This is a very exciting project," said Michael Golemo, chair of the Department of Music and director of bands. "Our students had a tremendous opportunity to work with opera legend Simon Estes, plus the demanding experience of several high-level recording sessions."
Holiday Classics with Simon Estes is available online for $15 at www.music.iastate.edu under "Special Interest" and will be sold at the ISU Bookstore and at concerts featuring the Wind Ensemble and the Ames Piano Quartet. Proceeds form the sale of these recordings will support the Simon Estes Fund for Musical Outreach and the ISU Wind Ensemble travel fund.
