NEW YORK, NY- (June 10, 2002) - New York composer Steven R. Gerber's
Songs Without Words for solo violin will be performed on June 13 in
Ireland at the Louise Donlon Dunmaisie Arts Centre, Church Street,
Portlaoise, Co Laois by Gregory Harrington.
Mr. Harrington is a native of Ireland and is currently a graduate
student at New York's Mannes College of Music.
Steven R. Gerber's music has gained international attention as a result
of two recent CD releases (on Chandos and KOCH) featuring several of his
major orchestral works, including the Viola Concerto, along with his
Symphony No. 1, the Serenade and the Violin and Cello Concertos. Mr.
Gerber has written for a number of fine soloists including Yuri Bashmet,
Kurt Nikkanen for the violin concerto and Carter Brey for the cello
concerto. His work has been performed by groups such as the Knoxville
Chamber Orchestra, the Fine Arts Quartet, the National Chamber Orchestra
and the Russian Philharmonic.
Steven R. Gerber is the subject of a recent Electronic Dialogue
interview in Sequenza 21 web magazine. Read the interview at

the Journal of the American Viola Society in which he discussed the Elegy
as well as the Viola Concerto he wrote for Yuri Bashmet, which was recorded
by Lars Anders Tomter for Chandos. Visit his website at
