The series, based on the popular concert series, aims to present songs from the late Tony-winning composer-lyricist's canon with simple and essential piano-only arrangements, letting the listener focus more on the words and music. The third entry includes some of Sondheim's most beloved songs, such as "Being Alive" and "Move On," along with lesser-known tunes from The Girls of Summer and The Frogs and songs cut from Company and Assassins. The album was recorded in studio throughout 2020 and 2021.

"On behalf of Yellow Sound Label, I am very proud to be concluding this definitive series exploring the work of Stephen Sondheim," says Executive Producer Michael Croiter. "I can’t think of a better way to move towards 2023 than to celebrate Sondheim’s legacy with these wonderful singers and this classic repertoire."

Sondheim Unplugged is created and hosted by Phil Geoffrey Bond, who produces this album. Music director Joseph Goodrich is featured on the piano.

The first volume of Sondheim Unplugged released December 1, 2021, and the second volume dropped March 22.
