about

Winner of the 2009 WAMMIE Award for Classical Recording, Mark Sylvester's second CD, New Music for Banjo, is a collection of original classical compositions for solo banjo and banjo in small chamber ensembles. Inspired and nurtured by his involvement with Great Noise Ensemble (GNE), a young contemporary classical chamber ensemble based in the Washington, DC, area, these four pieces were premiered by GNE during its first three seasons. Several musicians from GNE join Mark and his banjo on this CD.
