"I am becoming the woman I've longed for..."
In their 3rd studio album, La Caccina sings the music of transformation and the beauty inherent in change. "Becoming" is an act of innovation, a progression from one state into another. But it is also a way to describe the beauty that exists when many entities come together and make each other more exquisite in collaboration than they ever could be individually. The 9 voices of La Caccina blend and join and become each other on this album, which features two commissions by the ensemble and other music new and old.
