In the fall of 2006, Steve performed a concert of his music with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra at Winnipeg's Centennial Concert Hall. Mike Janzen (Steve's long-time piano player) brilliantly orchestrated 13 of Steve's most celebrated songs and the response was so enthusiastic that Steve and manager Dave Zeglinski decided to go into the studio with the WSO. The result of those recording sessions is this outstanding album; a uniquely beautiful, majestic capturing of the musical and lyrical themes of each song.
Making of the Symphony Sessions:
For many Canadian independent artists, Steve's past album successes would be a track record sufficient to suggest that it was time to rest on the laurels of the past. Instead, Steve’s inspired beginning and accomplished mid-stretch is leading him into a season marked by growing vision, passion and skill.
On the musical front, this stage of Steve’s career has been deeply impacted by his collaboration with symphony orchestras.
