Elegantly marrying together her new age and neo-classical influences, violist Rhonda Lorence brings forth a dreamy, nuanced album as enthralling as freshly fallen snow. From the lush mid-range lament of the title track to the gorgeous, Moroccan tinged "Voices of the Forest," (titled after featured vocalist Angela Sterling Forest) Lorence is not only a gifted viol player, but a skilled sound designer who weaves together strings, synths, guitar, and vocals into melodies of abstract loveliness. Winter Moon stayed in the top 50 on the New Age Reporter charts for an entire year and was nominated for four NAR Lifestyle Music Awards including Album of the Year and Best New Artist.
