JUDITH LANG ZAIMONT'S MUSIC IS HEARD ACROSS U.S. AND EUROPE
1999-2000 Season Marks Very Busy Time for Composer

During the late Winter, Spring and Summer of 2000, the music of Judith
Lang Zaimont will be heard in a series of orchestral and chamber concert
performances, recordings and commissions, read about in several magazine
articles and discussed in lectures throughout the U.S.

January 2000 brought the publication of an extensive interview with Ms.
Zaimont in 21st Century Music Magazine.

The month of February has featured a number of performances of her music.

Ms. Zaimont's Piano Sonata received its World Premiere performance
by pianist Bradford Gowen on Saturday, February 5 at Atlantic State
University in Savannah, Georgia.  This major work, which was cited as
the most important solo piano piece of 1999 by Piano & Keyboard magazine
in its great piano compositions of the 20th Century timeline, is the
composer's largest solo statement to date for the instrument.

Sunday, February 20 brought the premiere of the suite Tanya - Poems for
cello, performed by Tanya Remenikova at Minneapolis's Ted Mann Hall.

Sunday, February 27 will bring a performance of Ms. Zaimont's Snazzy
Sonata - An Entertainment for Two (one piano, four hands) by Margo
Garrett and Karl Paulnack at the Twin Cities' Weisman Museum

February has also brought a new CD of Judith Lang Zaimont's music.
Radiance - The Choral Music of Judith Lang Zaimont was released on
the 4Tay label and features the Choral Society of Southern California,
conducted by Nick Strimpel, in performances of Zaimont's The Chase,
Meditations at the Time of New Year, Sunny Airs and Sober and excerpts
from Sacred Service for the Sabbath Evening.

On Saturday, March 11, Kate Tamarkin will lead the East Texas Symphony
Orchestra in a performance of Ms. Zaimont's Elegy for Strings.  This
eloquent and deeply felt work has been performed to great acclaim in New
York, San Francisco and Moscow and has become the central movement of the
composer's Remember Me - Symphony No. 2 for Orchestral Strings.

The composer has been invited to speak on Sunday, March 26 at the Music
Teachers National Association National Convention in Minneapolis about
her own music for piano, in a talk titled "Zaimont on Zaimont - When the
Composer is a Pianist".  She is Professor of Composition at the University
of Minnesota School of Music.

Chamber Music America.

Ms. Zaimont has also completed a commission for PianoFest 2000 for a new
piano work to be premiered in June of this year at the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.  The new work, Jupiter's Moons, in six movements,
