Keith Kramer composer

EMERGE is a two-disc album featuring the works of Boston-based composer Keith Kramer.

This double album features instrumental, electronic, chamber, and orchestral works and includes performances by Après, the Capitol Hill Chamber Players, the Sonora Ensemble, the Beyond Sonic Boundaries Orchestra, the Mariner String Quartet, the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra under conductor Kirk Trevor, and many more.
