DocuSign Envelope ID:60E96CD9-F983-4BD7-9EBC-BA412FlB67DA <br /> Project/Program Soprano, Andrea Edith Moore will record her debut album, Family <br /> Summary Secrets: Kith & Kin, a new chamber opera by NC born composer <br /> Daniel Thomas Davis and texts by seven Orange County authors <br /> Jeffery Beam, Allan Gurganus, Randall Kenan, Michael Malone, <br /> Frances Mayes, Lee Smith, and Daniel Wallace. Andrea will join <br /> forces with 5 time Grammy award winning producer Elaine Martone, <br /> opera conductor Timothy Myers, actress Jane Holding, a stellar <br /> ensemble including pianist, Lisa Kaplan (Eighth Blackbird); banjoist <br /> Hank Smith (Hank, Patty and the Current) and members of Mallarme <br /> Chamber Players, at Manifold Recording Studio and to be mastered <br /> by Brent Lambert (Kitchen Mastering in Carrboro). Additionally, each <br /> author will record a narrated version of their story at WHUP Radio <br /> Studio in Hillsborough. These author recrodings will provide the <br /> bonus tracks for the album. The recording of Family Secrets: Kith & <br /> Kin will be released in 2020 on Albany Records. <br /> This project is already supported by The Kenan Foundation and a <br /> successful crowdsourcing fundraising campaign totaling $18,000 to <br /> date. An additional Grant for $10,000 is under consideration by New <br /> Music USA. At present, we are scheduled to record the album on time <br /> in September 2019. The total project budget is $36,000. <br /> My request for $3000 in funds from Arts of Orange would round out <br /> the budget exactly and would be used to specifically to cover the <br /> expense of Mastering the recording at the Kitchen in Carrboro and <br /> additional recording expenses to record the authors. <br />
