AMAZING GRACE
Hymn arrangements by Evelyn Larter, performed by the Elite Artists Trio, a Steinway Artists ensemble in Taiwan. Sherry Chen, piano, Linya Su, violin, and Limu Ya, cello, play all the titles in Evelyn’s collection How Sweet The Sound. They are joined by Sarah Wu, flute, in three additional tracks, published separately as Lord Of All, a new collection for piano quartet.
“I’m so happy that Evelyn Larter has created this wonderful and much-needed collection of hymn arrangements for piano trio. She has a knack for writing that is easy to put together, yet lacks nothing in terms of harmonic, melodic, and instrumental depth. I find her work deeply moving, spiritual, and satisfying.”
David Kim, Concertmaster,
The Philadelphia Orchestra
“Evelyn’s work is just wonderful. All her compositions and arrangements are a tribute to her commitment to enhance the worship and prayer life of anyone who hears them.”
