What a joy to work with one of the finest and most capable young conductors,
Andrew Crust
, who led the incredibly musical and equally friendly
Vermont Symphony
in the thrilling Vermont premiere last weekend of
Roberto Sierra's
electric violin concerto, "Ficciones".

I love working with local student string players, the real future of strings--answering their questions and showing them some new possibilities. This workshop included the VT Symphony's wonderful
Matt LeRocca
, also a music professor at the University of Vermont.

And forgive me for including an excerpt from a glowing review by arts writer Jim Lowe of the major VT paper, The Times Argus, but we have to cherish them when we get them, right?
