University of Central Missouri New Music Festival

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Just a quick note on the University of Central Missouri New Music Festival (website here).  Warrensburg was a nice little town, and I really enjoyed pieces by Eric Honour, Jamie Sampson, Benjamin Williams, Ryan Jesperson.  Bravo to the four excellent trumpet players who put together my piece Sevens for its Missouri premiere, but I don’t know if anyone will remember it after the disco dancing pianists who followed in James Bohn’s entertaining Monkey in the Middle.  Momilani Ramstrum’s intriguing Gloved Water was another highlight, as was John Bilotta’s Sonatina.
