Organizing an Afternoon of Chamber Music

While on sabbatical in Chicago a few years ago, I composed a "Spring Suite" for small chamber group - flute, clarinet, tenor, mezzo-soprano, violin/viola, and cello. Based on three poems, Light Again by Wendell Berry, In Time of Silver Rain by Langston Hughes, and Chansons Innocentes: I (in Just - spring) by e.e. cummings, in three movements, I composed these in the dead of winter when I was longing for warmer weather.

James Falzone, my composition teacher, hoped that I might get friends together to perform it so we could hear what it actually sounds like. I am finally organizing a group of friends to make that a reality! Still searching for a mezzo-soprano, we are now also looking for a mutually-agreeable date in July.
