Steven Burke: Within You

Drawing from its 35 musicians, they curate a chamber series in the Bronx and around the New York metropolitan area. di.vi.sion regularly premieres new works by American composers and this recording, featuring premieres by Steven Burke, is one example of their commitment to contemporary music.

He has won recognition from the American Academy of Arts and Letters as well as fellowships and prizes. His music has been performed by distinguished ensembles including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, and Eastman Wind Ensemble, among many others. Performers on this recording include Renée Cometa Briggs, Matt Goeke, and Donald Mokrynski, all of whom enjoy distinguished careers.
