Composer Sergio Cervetti has about as original a story as a composer can have. Growing up in Uruguay, Sergio relocated to America to pursue his goal of becoming a composer, meeting a diverse group of people and overcoming challenges along the way. To date, Sergio has released eight albums of his compositions with Navona Records, including the latest masterpiece PARALLEL REALMS. We recently had the chance to catch up with Sergio and discuss his story of coming to America, writing the pieces on PARALLEL REALMS, and more.
