Aurora

Evolving classical crossover artist Sangeeta Kaur has recently graced the world with her latest New Age album, “Aurora.” This musical masterpiece promises listeners a beacon of hope and is sure to stir emotions of cosmic love across the universe. “Aurora” marks Kaur’s sixth career album release, following her triumphant Grammy® win for “Best Classical Solo Performance” on the album “Mythologies” in 2022, making her the first performer of Vietnamese origin to clinch a Grammy® Award in this esteemed category.

While Kaur remains faithful to her operatic roots on most of the album’s ten tracks, the influence of pop producer Shridhar Solanki is unmistakable, particularly on classical crossover tracks like “Distant Shores” and “Flashback.”

Veteran recording engineer Gerhard Joost, himself a Grammy® winner, returns to the console for “Aurora,” continuing his longstanding partnership with Kaur on all her albums.

“Aurora” stands as a milestone in Kaur’s discography as it was the first of her albums recorded at Studio Hill in Austin, a state-of-the-art recording facility co-owned by Kaur and her husband Hai Nguyen. Joost, a celebrated industry veteran, is also a partner in Studio Hill and serves as the in-house Chief Recording Engineer.

Kaur’s session players are a lineup of highly acclaimed musicians, most of whom are Grammy® Award winners themselves. This exceptional ensemble includes violinist Nathalie Bonin, percussionist M.B. Gordy, bassist Mark Gorman, guitarist Andrew Synowiec, pianist Van Anh Nguyen, and cellist Eru Matsumoto.
