Fellows at 30: Hear NYFA Fellows Live and on The NYFA Collection: Vol. 2!
The NYFA Collection: Volume Two is available for purchase, and there are plenty of opportunities to see the featured NYFA Fellows perform live!
The NYFA Collection: Volume Two continues the archiving and dissemination of the New York music collection, which began with The NYFA Collection: 25 Years of New York New Music—a collection DownBeat called a “stunning document of historic culture.”
The NYFA Collection: Volume Two celebrates the 30th Anniversary of NYFA’s Artists’ Fellowship Program by releasing ten tracks created/composed by the 2013 Music and Sound Fellows. The collection was curated by Cristian Amigo and innova’s Philip Blackburn.
The physical CD is available for purchase here or you can buy the digital album here!
