Accompaniment" an online event from Vox Novus to foster and broaden the 
art song genre. This project creates an opportunity for composers to 
"voice" or express their musical ideas. It is also an opportunity to 
explore and experiment with accompaniment through the digital video 
medium.

Hoffman, Allen Molineux, Ella Deloon, Mike McFerron, and R. Michael 
Daugherty.



New York Concert Review hailed Andrew White as a "... a formidable 
interpreter ... Every song composer should be so lucky with 
collaborators." A champion of Art Song and contemporary music, Andrew 
White has distinguished himself in recitals of French mélodie, Lieder, 
and contemporary American art song, including numerous premiere 
performances.
