New World Symphony

This new collection, “Songs of Orpheus,” reunites two GRAMMY®-winning musical collaborators, mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor and pianist, composer and conductor Robert Spano. The album is O’Connor’s first recital recording and derives its title from Spano’s own “Sonnets to Orpheus,” written for Kelley O’Connor; also on the album are songs by Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy and George Crumb. The new album, on Sono Luminus, is set for release on August 22, 2025.
