The first new album from Uncle Bonsai in almost 10 years, celebrating their 44th Anniversary, this CD features selections from Seven Sins, Seven Wonders, Seven Dwarfs, a song cycle consisting of 25 songs that the group has performed as a complete show in venues around the Pacific NW. This recording features 18 of the songs from the song cycle, along with two songs from the Seven Modern Wonders series of songs, which represent Chich'n Itz  (At The Edge of the Water) and The Great Wall of China (You Can't Come In). The group is performing this Fall in the Pacific NW and is currently booking national tours for Spring and Fall 2026. We expect great support from the FolkDJ/NPR radio stations.

Stories of Mozart's musical precocity, especially centered on pianistic work, are well-known and form an integral part of our mythology around the composer. This aims to bring wider attention to the charming opera Buffa La Finta Semplice, composed by Mozart at age 12. Full of light and elegant arias, skillful ensembles, and amusing characterizations, this recording casts the spotlight on a the delightful mind of a developing young composer.
