David Jolley has been acclaimed as one of his generation's most notable
horn players.  The New York Times described him as soloist, recitalist,
and chamber musician of "remarkable virtuosity," and Gramophone magazine
has hailed him as "a soloist second to none." His recital appearances
throughout the United States include performances at New York's 92nd St.
"Y" and Alice Tully Hall.  He is a frequent guest artist with the musicians
from Marlboro, Guarneri Quartet, Beaux Arts Trio, and the Chamber Music
Society at Lincoln Center.  Recent orchestral engagements include the
Detroit Symphony, The Phoenix Symphony, The Memphis Symphony, The Oklahoma
City Philharmonic, and the Kamerata Chamber Orchestra of Athens.

Hailed by the Louisville Courier-Journal for his "compelling, innate
soulfulness," Lawrence Dillon has produced an extensive body of work
characterized by a keen sensitivity to color and a mastery of traditional
forms.  A student of Vincent Persichetti, Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter,
David Diamond, and Roger Sessions, Dillon became at the age of 26 the
youngest composer to earn a doctorate at the Juilliard School (1985),
also winning the Gretchaninoff Prize and an ASCAP Young Composers Award.
Currently Composer-in-Residence at the North Carolina School for the
Arts, Dillon holds residencies at numerous summer festivals, and has
been awarded grants from the American Music Center and National Endowment
for the Arts, among others.  His works have received special commendation
from the 2003 Masterprize of London, been chosen for the 2002 Jordania
International Conducting Competition in Kharkov, Ukraine and been performed
and broadcast throughout the Americas and Europe.  His music is on Albany
("Chamber Music by Lawrence Dillon" -
