The Kickstarter page states, "A massive 130-minute work for large orchestra and an amplified soprano soloist, Child Alice has been performed only twice in its entirety, and has never been commercially recorded."
The ensemble is The Boston Modern Orchestra Project. Your cabbage, etc. will be in good hands! Not only is BMOP Musical America's 2016 Ensemble of the Year; they have successfully produced about 50 recordings, as well has completing four Kickstarter projects. (Some BMOP Kickstarter projects were not funded; but, that's the record biz.) The project already has pledges totaling more than $12,000; about $2,400 additional is all that is needed. The higher-echelon donor rewards include autographed items.
Complete Kickstarter info is here. The project video is not embed-able here, but it presents snippets from the live recording.
