about

With a soaring spirit of wonder, imagination, and adventure, the Kandinsky Trio's On Light Wings spans the American musical worlds of jazz, classical, and creative improvisation. Journey through three world premieres — across a long musical bridge, through the haunts of silent film, and on the hunt with an iconic American composer to find his unique voice within 20th century music.
