All Classical Portland's AMPLIFY is the first album from the Recording Inclusivity initiative: the station's nationally recognized, award winning project designed to address the gap of classical music composers and musicians from underrepresented communities that make it into the concert hall and onto the airwaves.
AMPLIFY features compositions by Jasmine Barnes, Keyla Orozco, and Lauren McCall, named Composers in Residence by All Classical Portland in 2021. AMPLIFY also includes two works by Mélanie Hélène Bonis (1858-1937) and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson (1932-2004).
As the 1,000th album brought to life by parent organization PARMA Recordings, this important Navona Records release marks a monumental achievement in highlighting voices in classical music, and is a step in helping to change America’s playlist. AMPLIFY was released on October 28, 2022
