Haskell Small's New Concerto for Bassoon and Piano with Orchestra Now Available for Performances Composer/pianist Haskell Small's new Concerto for Bassoon and Piano with Orchestra is now available for performances following its very successful World Premiere with bassoonist Arnold Irchai, the composer at the piano and the Mount Vernon Orchestra, under their Music Director Ulysses S. James, on Sunday, June 8. Following in the tradition of 18th and 19th century pianist/composers, Haskell Small is also an accomplished composer, who often performs his own works. He has received commissions from such organizations as the Washington Performing Arts Society, Three Rivers Piano Competition, Georgetown Symphony and Paul Hill Chorale, and he was the winner of the 1999 Marin Ballet Dance Score Competition. A recipient of a solo recitalist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and a semifinalist in the Johann Sebastian Bach International Piano Competition, Mr. Small's concerts throughout the United States, including Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, National Gallery of Art, the Kennedy Center, and the Spoleto Festival have won him an enthusiastic following. Mr. Small was featured in the PBS television special A Celebration of the Piano, taped at Wolf Trap. In recent seasons, Mr. Small has made several tours of Japan and performed recitals in Paris and London.
