The Mill Ave Chamber Players opens their ninth season with a new recording, "What the Birds Said"- the music of John Steinmetz. The ensemble recorded the album this past June with the composer on hand, and they dropped by K-BACH before they hit the studio. K-BACH's Sterling Beeaff chats with French hornist Rose French and composer John Steinmetz about the collaboration.

Join the Mill Ave Chamber Players and composer John Steinmetz for the CD release concert at Central United Methodist Church on August 14 at 3 PM.
