Candido Bretto transformed Diane L. Finn’s story into an international musical experience. From South Korea we have Haegal (Joongwon) Hwang, Sowon Lim, JongHa Kang, and from Japan we have Yuki Monolog Kanesaka, Yohei Kambe, and Yuki Kodama. All were seniors at Berklee College of Music, Boston, MA when they embarked on this musical journey with Candido Bretto at Cybersound Studios in Boston, MA. Bretto, Hwang, Lim, and Kang orchestrated the strings, brass, reeds, and percussion, while Kanesaka, Kambe, and Kodama performed on drums, and acoustic bass respectively.
