Department Debuts New CD

Now fans of UMass Boston musicians can sample their live performances on the new CD Live at the Millennium. The compilation, the first of its kind for the Music Department, features live recordings of the University Chorus, the Jazz Band, the Chamber Singers, and the Chamber Orchestra in concert during the 2000-2001 academic year. The CD features short works and single movements of larger works including pieces by Aaron Copeland, Miles Davis, Johannes Brahms, and W.A. Mozart.
“The whole department got involved,” said Jon Mitchell, the project’s executive editor. Conductors Jeffrey Rink, Peter Janson, and Mitchell selected pieces from concert performances which were representative of their group’s work. Janson edited the recordings, and his wife, Bernadette Lavasseur, took the photograph for the CD cover. Mark Vaz, an alumnus of the music department, served as recording engineer for the project.
The project was made possible by support from University Advancement, which has been sending the CD to UMass Boston’s generous donors. The department will celebrate the disc at a release party for all participants in February. The CD will be on sale for $10.00 through the Music Department office.
