Harriet: Journey to Freedom is a new work by Timothy K. Adams Jr, recorded and produced by CRD and was released this October.

Harriet tells the story of Harriet Tubman through orchestral music accompanied by haunting spoken word and soundscaping. It positions itself as an important offering to a form championed (and perfected, of course) by masterpieces such as Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s St Matthew Passion and subsequent compelling acts of storytelling by combining voice and instrument. 

As the world’s oldest, family-owned classical record label, marking over 50 years this year, CRD have been “thrilled to collaborate on this critical cultural contribution and we are looking forward to pairing the release of the work’s first recording with live performances in centers of excellence.”
