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.

“Deena’s passion for music and nature come together in this programmatic journey down the Columbia River that is an honor and a joy to perform.” - Martha Long, Principal Flute, Baltimore Symphony
