Emma is delighted to announce she will be recording Dutch composer Jannum Kruidhof‘s setting of the mass for mezzo-soprano and piano, together with pianist David Vaamonde. Kruidhof has a background in classical violin and jazz. His music blends genres seamlessly, creating a musical world that is both refreshingly new and at the same time has comforting, familiar elements. His new setting of the mass is sometimes intimate, sometimes challenging, and very refreshing. Watch this space for more information!
