In the last several weeks I've taken my piece, Three Songs of Carl Sandburg, originally for voice and piano, and arranged it for voice and marimba. The duo Aurora Borealis (pictured here) will perform it in Dearborn, MI on July 3. This is my big Michigan premiere! Here's the press release:
The Aurora Borealis Duo, a resident ensemble from New York City, will perform at St. Anselm Parish in Dearborn, MI, on Tuesday July 3.
