This week's Sounds from the Street is none other than October Project. American Prize (2023), Anthem Award and Four- time Telly Award winners (Gold, Silver & Bronze, 2021 – 2024), composer Emil Adler, writer Julie Flanders and vocalist Marina Belica of October Project are award-winning, genre-defying recording artists and producers who collaborate in the creation of musical recordings and events.

Powered by Flanders’ words, Adler’s music, and the group’s trademark harmonies, their earlier work with SONY/Epic and subsequent recordings on their October Project Music label have been enjoyed by millions. Bridging the worlds of pop, classical, a cappella and choral, they continue to innovate the landscape of Independent Music.

With a mission to bring harmony to a dissonant world, the group re-released the original studio recording of their trailblazing choral work, The Book of Rounds: A Cappella in October, 2025, on the 10th Anniversary of its release. A precursor to the Book of Rounds Choral Edition (2021) and the widely heralded Virtual Choir of Joy (2020), which was produced during COVID and won a Telly and Anthem Award, the recording conveys the work’s messages of hope, comfort, healing and belonging within the close-up, intimate ethos of a cappella singing. Sung by thousands of singers since its initial release, the music and the message resonate with more urgency today than ever before.
