The music of becomings is a combination of jazz and soul, with a touch of funk here and there.

"With her smoky soulful voice Vania blends blue notes and heavenly lyrics in celebration of love's power to overcome life's dark moments. With true authenticity she move between the shadows of longing and despair into the peace and love that surrounds us all if we take the time to acknowledge it's presence. What a gift it is to hear the truths spoken from her heart."
--Jon Scott

Vania and Donna Dinsmore make a dynamic flute and piano duo with their new album of searching and soothing music.

From the Longings album notes:
"In cultures the world over, traditional folk and hymn tunes are filled to overflowing with longing. We offer a fresh interpretation of these beautiful folk tunes from North America, Wales, Korea, China and Czechoslovakia, integrating them in a unique blend of styles and harmonizations. It is our hope that these simple, haunting melodies will enliven the longings in you and give voice to your desire for more meaning, more life, more love."
