Montclair Records Releases New Single, Lost at Home, from Composer Vonn Vanier's Forthcoming Debut Album, Dawn

Montclair Records, in association with CEN/The Orchard, is proud to announce the release of Lost at Home, the powerful new single from 18-year-old composer Vonn Vanier. Now available on all major streaming platforms, Lost at Home is a sweeping orchestral work performed by the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Daria Novo. The piece serves as the emotional centerpiece of Vanier’s forthcoming debut album, Dawn, set for release on May 16.

A symphonic poem inspired by Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front, Lost at Home showcases Vanier’s extraordinary ability to translate literary depth into musical expression. The single is accompanied by a cinematic official video, available to view below. Dawn, produced by Jeremy Cohen, features seven original compositions for orchestra, chamber ensemble, and solo piano, and marks the arrival of a singular new voice in contemporary classical music. In addition to Lost at Home, the album includes previously released singles Shimmer and OPCI, which have already begun to build anticipation for the full release.

Stream Lost at Home, pre-order Dawn, and experience the official video below. Dawn will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 16.

Additional compositions include works for chamber ensembles—Witching Hour and Jagged, both performed by Quartet San Francisco; Shimmer, for piano quintet, featuring pianist Brenda Vahur with Quartet San Francisco; and Bloom, for wind quintet, performed by Quinteto Latino. 

Vanier’s journey in music began as a chorister with the Grace Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys in San Francisco and continued through summers at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute. Growing up and learning his craft in San Francisco and the vast splendor of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Vonn Vanier brings to music a creative impulse, a determined work ethic and a cultural perspective that differ from those of the typical conservatory background. With Dawn, Montclair Records celebrates Vonn Vanier’s debut and invites listeners to experience the artistry of an emerging voice whose talent and vision signal a compelling future in music.
