Here is some information about an upcoming Concert and CD release.

   I would like to alert you to a very special concert that is coming
   up on September 26, 1999, at 7 PM in Seattle, Washington at the
   Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall.  Two excellent
   musicians trained at Juilliard and now residing in Seattle will be
   playing some commissioned works of contemporary American composers.
   They have recently completed a spectacular CD of the music of these
   composers, titled "American Interweave".  The Seattle concert is the
   final concert in a tour of the East Coast and draws on some of the
   compositions featured on the CD.  The CD features the American
   composers David Stock, William Bolcom, Reza Vali, Samuel Zyman, and
   Lowell Liebermann.

   David Stock was the resident composer for the SSO recently and lived
   in Madison Heights during his stay here in Seattle.  William Bolcom
   was raised in Seattle and now lives and teaches at the University
   of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Reza Vali is at the Carnegie-Mellon in
   Pittsburgh, Samuel Zyman is at the Juilliard in New York City, and
   Lowell Liebermann is an established composer living in New York City.
   The music is performed by the Krishnaswami-Salman Duo consisting of
   Rajan Krishnaswami on the violoncello and Mark Salman on the piano.
   These works are in a style that is tonal and contemporary, with the
   full range of emotional expression.  I was privileged to be in the
   studio during the recording of the CD and I am very impressed with
   the quality of the music and the attention to detail made in recording
   the performance of it.  I believe that this CD will make a big
   contribution to introducing these composers to the listening audience.

   They will be giving a concert tour of the East coast on September 14
   at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall $20 (NYC), September 16
   at Duquesne University PNC Bank Recital Hall $10 (Pittsburgh), and
   September 20 at Longy School of Music Pickman Hall $18 (Cambridge,
   MA).  The concert includes pieces by Beethoven, Liszt, Bolcom, Janacek,
   Vali, and Stock.

   The Seattle concert is scheduled for September 26 th at 7 P.M.  in
   the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall ($18, $14
   st/snr).  The Seattle concert has pieces by Beethoven, Reza Vali,
   David Stock, Samuel Zyman, and Leos Janacek.  Reza Vali.  David Stock,
   and Samuel Zyman will all be attendance at the concert and will be
   participating in as post concert discussion made possible by a grant
   from the Meet the Composer Foundation.
