Classical Premiere and MSO in Ojai & Berkeley
1/27/2012 2:26:41 PM - I had the joy of premiering 'Winter Morning Walks' with Dawn Upshaw, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and Scott Robinson (bass and alto clarinet), Frank Kimbrough (piano), and Jay Anderson (bass) at the wonderful Ojai Festival in California.  Poems for this piece are by Ted Kooser.  Performances were at the Ojai's new Libbey Bowl,  and Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley.  Read a review here.
