My composition "Play of Light" for flute (doubling bass flute and piccolo) and harp will be featured on this program of "Mostly Maine Composers." "Grammy-nominated mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato, an admired favorite on the international concert stage, will celebrate Maine composers in a concert with esteemed colleagues Peter H. Bloom, multiple flutes; Thomas Hill, clarinet; and Mary Jane Rupert, piano and harp. The program, Mostly Maine Composers, will be a tribute to Elliott Schwartz, the dean of Maine composers, in his 80th year, and will honor several other Maine composers including University of Maine at Augusta faculty member Richard Nelson, University of Maine (Orono)'s Beth Wiemann, and Maine-based composers Elizabeth Vercoe and Michael Viens. A vivid, wide-ranging repertoire will provide a dazzling tour of recent works by these pre-eminent Maine composers, together with Aaron Copland’s charming As It Fell Upon a Day and Lester Trimble’s witty and captivating Four Fragments from the Canterbury Tales. All of the Maine composers will be on hand to introduce their pieces and to discuss the music in an informal Q&A following the concert."
