Together Again, for the First TimeHarold Rosenbaum’s New York Virtuoso Singers have programmed a joint Corigliano/Adamo concert on the Upper West Side on April 11th. Apart from the delight of hearing, in a group, four of my freshly revised choral works–Pied Beauty, The Poet Speaks of Praising, Matewan Music, and Cantate Domino (all of which are now published by G. Schirmer, and described here) it will mark the first time John and I have appeared on the same program. |

Jo’s Tour of the Northern LightsCalgary Opera gave the Canadian première of Little Women January 30, in a production directed by Kelly Robinson and conducted by Gordon Gerrard. Before the production, I spoke with the Calgary Herald’s Bob Clark; Kenneth DeLong, of the same periodical, says some very kind things here. This production travels first to the Banff Festival this August and then to Utah Opera in March 2011. Above, Joe McNally’s portrait of the cast of the NYCO/Tokyo production. |
