From Farm to
Record Table

Composed over eight years across Wisconsin, from a biodynamic farm in rural Campbellsport to the snow-blanketed streets of Milwaukee, "When We Were Bears" is the debut album from classical pianist and vocalist Alicia Rytlewski. Brimming with movement and wonder, her compositions soundtrack transition and transformation, chronicling the rhythms of the seasons and the heart alike.
