“It’s really exciting to band together with other orchestras to create such an … amazingly handsome,beguiling and incredibly listenable piece and working collaboratively has been wonderful. The audience is going to be gratified.” - And indeed they were, offering Simone Dinnerstein and the musicians of wcfsymphony a standing ovation after our performance of Philip Glass’ fresh piano concerto on Saturday night. A co-commission with 11 other notable ensembles from around North America, and the piece is also featured on Simone’s superb fresh album,Circles.[My take above comes from a recent Courier interview about the commission with Simone and myself.]
