With this album, we continue to explore Antarctica through music. More than our previous offerings, I feel that this album is about experience, the feeling of being there for those who have never been, and the memories of being there for those who long to go back. It is intended to sound both joyous and contemplative. And it is intended to reflect Valmar’s passion for Antarctica and our mutual passion for music. It was named A Rose for Antarctica because that’s exactly what this album represents: a tribute, an ode, a rose for this magical continent.
