with the darker side.  With all its excitement and vigor, as well as its
interesting unexpected turns, Celebration!  makes a great concert opener!"
Erik E.  Ochsner - Music Director of the SONOS Chamber Orchestra has
said of the work, "We had such positive feedback from audiences on how
much they enjoyed Brian Grundstrom's work, Celebration!  It is modern,
yet tonal, enjoyable, and playable."
