Soprano Dawn Upshaw has been a longtime fan of composer Maria Schneider's work, so Upshaw approached the composer and suggested a collaboration.

The result is the album "Winter Morning Walks," which has been nominated for three Grammy awards, including Best Contemporary Classical Composition and Best Classical Vocal Solo.
