“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.”
