American baritone Lucas Meachem has released a solo album "Shall We Gather" accompanied by his wife, pianist Irina Meachem. Through fifteen art songs, they offer a vision of America "centered around the things that call on us to gather and that we gather to call upon." The release offers hope in promising resilience and togetherness, as well as other traits of America's natural character.
I hope you enjoy our discussion about how the album came together, and the duo's creation of the Perfect Day Music Foundation.
Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg Classical Host, VPM Music
