Co-op Press announces a new piccolo CD on its Emeritus label featuring Cristina Ledford accompanied by Michael McGhee. Mosaic contains recordings of exciting, recent music for piccolo and piano and piccolo unaccompanied.

Cristina Ledford is a big promoter of the piccolo as a solo instrument. She holds degrees from the University of Florida, University of Central Florida, and Indian River Community College. Ledford is an active music teacher in the central Georgia area and is also the solo piccoloist for the Ocmulgee Symphony Orchestra. Previously, she was the principal flutist of the Central Florida Symphony Orchestra where she was originally the piccoloist. She has been on the faculty at Gordon College and maintains a small, private studio in her home. In her spare time, Cristina maintains the popular piccolo website, www.piccoloist.com, which she built from the bottom up.

Dr. Michael McGhee is currently Assistant Professor of Music at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, where he teaches courses in music theory and music history and serves as college organist.
