The Verona Quartet presents SHATTER, an album that invokes the act of breaking the glass ceiling through exploration of cultural identity, interpersonal communication, and the struggle to overcome invisible barriers. Featuring world-premiere recordings of music by American composers Reena Esmail, Julia Adolphe, and Michael Gilbertson, as well as a collaboration with prize-winning Hindustani singer Saili Oak, this consortium of artists celebrates the creative diversity that flourishes within the American musical landscape.
