American Prize 2023
We are elated and honored to share that we have made it into the American Prize semi-finals for THREE categories!
Border Crossings
We are thrilled to announce Border Crossings, a multifaceted project that delves into the dynamic system of the Mexico/New Mexico border and its impact on both the creative process and the greater question of racial justice in our societies. The project, including the trio’s second album, is a respectful inquiry into the complexities of living in a border state and how that impacts the creative process.
Between Us Now
Released in April 2022, our debut album features works by Dr. Lauren Bernofsky, Dr. Alice Jones, Dr. Carrie Magin, Amy Beach, Nur Slim and Florence Price.
