Wildfires and Waterways

Released in partnership with Columbia Riverkeeper, for which Grossman is Composer-in-Residence, Wildfires and Waterways places the lush sounds of Grossman’s chamber and solo piano writing alongside vibrant paintings by Collin Murphy and important messages about climate change. The overall effect is that of cohesive, timely, and wild beauty.

The album features superb playing by some of the region’s finest musicians, including pianist Rory Cowal, flutists Martha Long and Zach Galatis, violist Charles Noble, and cellist Pansy Chang, in works inspired by the land and waters of the Pacific Northwest. Featuring three world premiere recordings, Wildfires and Waterways is a “stunning album… [including] two must-listen works for piano and Waterways... a mix of calm and focus… interesting, colorful and evocative.” (National Flute Association Quarterly summer issue)
