New Jersey Youth Symphony releases “Microvids” on PARMA Recordings

(NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ) — The New Jersey Youth Symphony (NJYS), a program of Wharton Arts, proudly announces the commercial release of Microvids, an evocative new album now streaming worldwide via PARMA Recordings. Featuring 19 miniature movements for piano and orchestra, Microvids is a pandemic-inspired work by acclaimed composer Stefania de Kenessey, performed with expressive nuance by pianist Donna Weng Friedman and the NJYS Youth Symphony under the baton of Helen H. Cha-Pyo.

Each “microvid”—a tightly crafted, under-one-minute musical vignette—is paired with a poetic couplet narrated in Spanish by dramatic actress Lola López Guardone, offering listeners a powerful blend of emotion, storytelling, and multicultural artistry.
