]]> A few weeks ago in New Jersey, when I presented my lecture about the interdisciplinary nature of creativity to a group of school children, I was asked which of my compositions is my favorite. A tough question to answer! But I ultimately chose my Adagio for String Quartet.

And so I am delighted that the New York Composers Circle will be presenting this work on December 20 at 8pm. The venue is the Saint Peter’s Church at Citigroup Center, 54th Street and Lexington Avenue. One of the NYCC’s honorary members, Dinu Ghezzo, will be celebrated as his 70th birthday arrives, and there will also be a composition by no less than Elliott Carter on the bill. Other composers on the concert include Jacob E. Goodman, Martin Halpern, Eugene McBride, and Gayther Myers.

And a reception will follow. The suggested donation is $20 and as always the concert promises to be a great one. More information can be found by clicking the flier or by clicking here.
