Chaminade / Hassan / Levin - World's Highway Music CD

This is an album of songs for mezzo-soprano and varied small ensembles. The works are from the early to mid 20th Century. Sahar Hassan sings this truly beautiful program. Egyptian American mezzo-soprano Sahar Hassan maintains a busy schedule as a chamber musician and frequent oratorio soloist. Committed to bringing lesser known works to life, she is artistic director of the Twin Cities based Ladyslipper Ensemble, which was born out of her love for chamber music. Ms. Hassan has been on the voice faculties of New England Conservatory's Division of Preparatory and Continuing Education, Wellesley College, College of St. Benedict/St. John's University and McNally Smith College of Music. She earned her Masters in Music from New England Conservatory of Music, with additional studies at the Conservatoire de Versailles in France and the Hochschule für Musik in Munich, Germany.
