“Intriguing choices give orchestra strong start”


..The program selected by music director Robert Lehmann was unusual, highlighting the richness of the literature available for small orchestra, while the soloists were outstanding.

Elliott Schwartz's Chamber Concerto VI: Mr. Jefferson received a fitting world premiere Saturday at Bowdoin College's Studzinski Recital Hall, which was filled for the occasion.... Everyone was in rare form, but the two-piano work of Anastasia Antonacos and Chiharu Naruse and Thomas Parchman's mocking clarinet cuckoo were quite incredible.
