Select Recordings of Sancho’s Music
In 2021, soprano Sonya Headlam and historical keyboardist Rebecca Cypess presented a recorded lecture-recital on Ignatius Sancho at the annual meeting of the American Musicological Society. Most of the recordings here are drawn from that lecture-recital. Sonya and Rebecca, together with the Raritan Players and composer Trevor Weston, are also creating a recording of Sancho’s music for the Centaur label in 2024.
