Sweeten, Ann
Before Today, Beyond Tomorrow
During the album's conception, Ann Sweeten was diagnosed with Leukemia. Before Today, Beyond Tomorrow refers to the time before diagnosis, and then to the horizon, beyond the immediate, with hope for the future. The album is an all-out experience of intensity: at once passionate and tender, technically prodigious with a range of dynamic and nuance that will astonish. The pieces on the album mark moments on her journey thru diagnosis, treatments and then onward to embracing the beauty of life despite unfortunate circumstances. Her music takes you to the Infinite and back again, all the while leaving the listener filled with love and hope
