Okay, this isn't open to the public, but I wanted you to know it's happening - Angela and I are recording a new CD of Christmas carols at St. Patrick's Cathedral. It's being produced by JAV Recordings, engineered by Christopher Frommen, and directed by the cathedral music director, Dr. Jennifer Pascual. The recording features traditional carols in arrangements for one & two trumpets and organ. Dr. Pascual is the organist. The CD will be available in time for this year's Christmas season.
