The Duel” premiere


I have to apol­o­gize for the qual­ity of the pic­ture, but no qualms can be made about the qual­ity of the con­cert pre­sented last Fri­day. This ter­rific pro­gram fea­tured per­cus­sion­ist Stephen Solook in an ambi­tious pro­gram of con­tem­po­rary music and was delight­ful to hear. Steve was joined by soprano Tiffany Du Mouchelle and bass clar­inet Adam Berkowitz on my piece, The Duel. Bonus: I got to turn pages on the piano part of Rosauro’s Con­certo #1 for marimba. A shout-out to Steve, who will be per­form­ing this piece on March 15 with the Brook­lyn Con­ser­va­tory Com­mu­nity Orches­tra. See www.bcco.info for loca­tion, etc.
