VVQ orchestral recording
Going into the studio today with my peeps the Vintage Vocal Quartet to record some of our holiday pops repertoire. Shout outs go to Gerhard Guter for realizing the awesome orchestrations of Kenji Kikuchi, as well as my former student and a cappella maven Tim Bongiovanni who will be producing the vocal session. His new studio is amazing!
