I am excited to share with you that composition “Sadness” is out on all major streaming platforms including also Amazon and Bandcamp for downloads – published by Yellow Rose Records. It was a collaborative project: I composed and performed it on piano, and Sanja Romic arranged it for oboe and played it on the record. Sanja beautifully embellished “Sadness” with her emotional tune of oboe. It is calming and somber vibe.
