  21. “The political climate throughout Western society in 2025 makes us feel the cold of the past as we face the reality that the most admired democracy is sliding into fascism. We are witnessing in real time similar events to those that occurred in Germany 90 years ago.”

    From a “Letters to Fred” review.

  32. “Living the Aftermath” EP – Coming Soon!

    My latest release with Navona Records, LIVING THE AFTERMATH, will be available on November 14th!

    Visit the album page here for liner notes, credits, and all the info on where to stream it when it’s out!

    Featuring the talents of soprano Claire Fedoruk and pianist Lydia Wu, LIVING THE AFTERMATH is a song cycle that transforms grief into music, guiding listeners through its universal yet deeply personal journey. Each movement symbolizes a stage of grief — from acknowledgment to understanding, acceptance, and finally, the hope embodied in the closing piece, Psalm 47. The result is not only a reflection of loss and tragedy but also a perspective that uplifts, offering a path forward through sound.

    Few things are as paradoxically universal and idiosyncratic as grief: it befalls everyone at some point, but the manner in which it is handled is deeply personal. Artists, naturally, turn to art. Composers turn to composing. And Sarah Wallin Huff has created a musical vademecum in LIVING THE AFTERMATH, a song cycle which not only validates loss and tragedy, but also offers a path forward.

    Each part of this song cycle symbolizes a different stage of grief. In the first, sorrow is acknowledged; in the second, understood; in the third, accepted; and in the album’s closing piece, Psalm 47, the path forward is illuminated and embraced with hope. This is an album that does what few can: it offers perspective — and the result is genuinely uplifting.
