[…] Antoine Tamestit is recognized internationally as one of the most important viola players.

Fiendish, but fantastic: after a long relationship with the composer, percussionist Colin Currie has recorded both of HK Gruber's percussion concertos
[…] things but not enough for a diverse solo career. So he played in a lot of orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, and very much enjoyed it and it was only when he was in his mid-20s when he made the break as a solo player. And strangely enough, he always had more confidence when out at the front of the stage.

Colin describes the work as powerful and explosive, with the percussion entirely unpitched. It is also quick, rattling along at high speed with much excitement and effusive orchestration, full of colour, interesting chords and […]

Houston Chronicle: ROCO [River Oaks Chamber Orchestra] revives the work of pioneering Black female composer Margaret Bonds
[…] museum devoted to the European decorative arts. The River Oaks-area mansion was once home to Carroll Sterling Masterson and Harris Masterson III, the Houston philanthropists who left Rienzi to the museum when they passed away. The Mastersons also produced several Broadway plays and musicals in the 1950s and ‘60s, notably the Tony-nominated “Bajour.” Among their massive record collection — dominated by mid-century easy-listening favorites such as Perry Como and Mantovani, as well as an appropriately large number of soundtracks — was an acetate disc wrapped in brown paper, dated from the late ‘60s and with the notation “Margaret Bonds on piano.” On the disc was a rehearsal for a musical that was never produced. The plot is pretty standard throwaway Broadway fare about a sailor falling in and out of love in New Orleans — “a port-town romance kind […]
