"There was an email sent out about being submitted to the Grammys, and I remember reading that and being like, um, OK, that's cool?" said 22-year-old Kennedy Plains, who plays the bassoon.
"It's really such an honor, especially as such young musicians, to be considered among some of the best orchestras in the world, I think. It's really amazing," said 19-year-old Noelia Carrasco, who plays the cello. They made the album during the height of the pandemic, which pushed the young musicians beyond the brink of what they thought possible.
The album features pieces by a diverse group of composers, which means a lot to these young virtuosos.
