New York Composers Circle composer member Simona Smirnova is releasing her third album "Bird Language". The album combines Simona's original compositions for vocals, Lithuanian zither - kanklės, jazz quartet, string quartet, saxophone and background vocals. Recorded by well known local New York engineers  Mike Marciano and mixed/mastered by Dave Darlington, the album is a combination of jazz compositions and Lithuanian folk music dedicated to nature and its different phenomena. 

Simona's performances are lively, entertaining, theatrical and often interactive, while Simona's band members: Caili O'Doherty on piano, Marcelo Maccagnan on upright bass and M. Ch on drums, color the performance with their masterfull improvisations.
