"Charles Fitts is a truly gifted composer. It will only take one listen of his "Circus Concerto for Trumpet & Orchestra" for the listener to be completely assured of his talent. The piece is extremely well written, and truly idiomatic for the solo instrument - as well as the orchestral parts.
In my positions as I have recorded and performed well over 1,000 new works by living composers. Few are of the calibre of Charles Fitts' Circus Concerto for Trumpet & Orchestra. It is a real delight to have recorded this work and I count myself most fortunate to have done so."Robert Ian Winstin
Music Director of the Millennium Symphony, Principal Guest Conductor and Composer-in-Residence of the Kiev Philharmonic, and Recording Conductor of the Prague Radio Symphony
"In his I Ching, Fitts melds his math and music ingeniously."Charles Ward, Houston Chronicle

How proud we are to be part of these debuts…!"
