HORN CONCERTO (2021)

“Written for guest artist James Sommerville, who showed his own versatility…the 18-minute piece had plenty of variety and what she [the composer] called “dreamlike” textures. The clarity with which [Sommerville] played (and the complement he got from Holly Haddad on the clarinet) helped propel him through a second movement that had echoes of Leonard Bernstein’s ‘West Side Story.’ The third gave his fingers keyboard-level workout…. The work was satisfying for all involved.” - THE SIOUX CITY JOURNAL, Review of Horn Concerto world premiere by the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra with Ryan Haskins conducting, 14 November 2021 (Bruce Miller)
