🎶Composers at the Library 🎹

We had a great time sharing glimpses of our upcoming Finale Concert: Musical Landscapes at Skaneateles Library today! This is a project with a special connection to the Finger Lakes, through the landscape and portrait artwork of John D. Barrow, of Skaneateles NY. Three of our six featured composers for this year's project shared excerpts of their commissions for the Barrow Project and discussed their inspirations and techniques that lead to writing their pieces.

Thank you Skaneateles Library for hosting us!

Our musicians played to a full house at our rain location, the First Presbyterian Church of Skaneateles. What a great start to a week packed with great music and great artists. Enjoy this clip of .weiss and bringing down the house with a familiar finale.
